Over the top but great fun pulp SF recommendations?

By river_pepper

I’ll admit it—I’ve kind of been a reading snob with sci-fi for years. I mostly go for the smart, idea-heavy stuff, and I’ve definitely been the type to dismiss pulp as “beneath me.” But weirdly, I *love* trashy pulp B-movie sci-fi on screen. The kind that totally knows it’s junk and just leans into it hard. Gore, sex, and ridiculous over-the-top scenarios—movies like **Braindead**, **From Beyond**, and **Lifeforce** are right up my alley. So I’m looking for written sci-fi that has that same trashy, fun, B-movie vibe. Something silly but entertaining, with lots of wild action and sex. I’m just not sure where to start, though. If anyone has recs, I’d really appreciate it.
