{"product_id":"horror-noir-paul-meehan-9780786445974","title":"Horror Noir: Where Cinema's Dark Sisters Meet","description":"\u003cp\u003e This critical survey examines the historical and thematic relationships between two of the cinema's most popular genres: horror and film noir. The influence of 1930s- and 1940s-era horror films on the development of noir is detailed, with analyses of more than 100 motion pictures in which noir criminality and mystery meld with supernatural and psychological horror. Included are the films based on popular horror\/mystery radio shows (\u003ci\u003eThe Whistler, Inner Sanctum\u003c\/i\u003e), the works of RKO producer Val Lewton (\u003ci\u003eCat People, The Seventh Victim\u003c\/i\u003e), and Alfred Hitchcock's psychological ghost stories. Also discussed are gothic and costume horror noirs set in the 19th century (\u003ci\u003eThe Picture of Dorian Gray, Hangover Square\u003c\/i\u003e); the noir elements of more recent films; and the film noir aspects of the Hannibal Lecter movies and other serial-killer thrillers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Meehan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786445971\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786445974\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.90w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2011 pg. 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2011 pg. 225","brand":"Paul Meehan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072764408063,"sku":"9780786445974","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_31796d09-6aff-45b1-b154-0c27e7db08aa.jpg?v=1685443859","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/horror-noir-paul-meehan-9780786445974","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
