Dime novel
A cheap, popular novel that was popular in America. It stands for 10-cent novel, and is said to have begun in 1860 when Erastus Beadle published Ann S. Stephens' Malaesca, A White Hunter's Indian Wife for one dime (10 cents), which was a big hit. After that, he published 31 series, including the Dime Novel series, and 3,158 works, making a huge profit. His peers followed suit, and it is said that 101 series were published between 1880 and 1890.
