Cheap American literature that lasted into the 20th century, but this thread is for the 19th century stuff, mainly as some of it is free to view on Internet Archive. It is more varied than the British Penny Dreadfuls.

And if e'er you should come down to the village or the town, With the cold rain for your garland, and the wind for your renown, You will stand upon the thresholds with a face of dumb desire, Nor be known by any fire. What would you see in your proud land, Petrarch, If you came back again to Italy, And in the Garden of the Medici Could listen to the nightingale or lark And dream of Laura in the fragrent dark?
