While many adaptations are best known for being quaint murder mysteries, there are many adaptations of her work that draw on horror aesthetics. This book will look at how the growth of Agatha Christie adaptations have grown increasingly darker. Of key relevance to this study is the work of Sarah Phelps, whose \u003ccite\u003eWitness for the Prosecution, And Then There Were None, Ordeal by Innocence, The ABC Murders\u003c\/cite\u003e and \u003ccite\u003eThe Pale Horse\u003c\/cite\u003e all are darker than their precedents. Born out of their contemporary screen contexts, they use entrenched literary and filmic codes of Gothic horror as central reference points for audiences. Drawing on adaptation scholarship, where adapters are interpreters as well as creators, this study will look at how Agatha Christie is closer to Gothic horror than what we realise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stuart Richards\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9463725784\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789463725781\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amsterdam University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.29h x 6.22w x 0.79d","brand":"Stuart Richards","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46795485905151,"sku":"9789463725781","price":136.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bcad502f-f2ad-4fe3-8633-8a1f0490b9fd.jpg?v=1744947752","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/agatha-christie-and-gothic-horror-stuart-richards-9789463725781","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
