Men Into Beasts is a memoir by George Sylvester Viereck.
Viereck (December 31, 1884 – March 18, 1962) was a German-American poet, writer, and pro-Nazi propagandist.
The memoir describes Viereck'life in prison (1942-1947).
It was published as a paperback original by Fawcett Publications in 1952.
The book is a general memoir of discomfort, loss of dignity, and brutality in prison life.
The front matter and backcover text focuses on the situational homosexuality and male rape described in the book (witnessed, not experienced, by Viereck).
The book, while a memoir, is thus the first original title of 1950s gay pulp fiction, an emerging genre in that decade.
