The genre has roots in the pulp fiction traditions of the 20th century. Historically, these stories were circulated through low-cost print digests and magazines found across Kerala. These publications often sat on the fringes of the mainstream literary world, yet they maintained a consistent readership due to their accessibility and the direct nature of their storytelling.
