{"product_id":"tell-tale-art-christine-a-jackson-9780786463183","title":"Tell-Tale Art: Poe in Modern Popular Culture","description":"\u003cp\u003e Greed and guilt, near-indecipherable codes, murder plots born of madness--these motifs drive the best modern mysteries, but they are rooted in the early nineteenth century and the carefully constructed fiction of Edgar Allan Poe. Poe's methods of storytelling and suspense remain relevant, reappearing in detective novels and on screens large and small. This work examines a wide selection of today's mystery and thriller novels, films, television programs, and video games to explore Poe's ongoing influence on popular entertainment. Authors such as Michael Connelly, Stieg Larsson and Dennis Lehane, television shows like \u003ci\u003eThe Closer\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eDexter\u003c\/i\u003e, and movies from \u003ci\u003eLaura\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eVertigo\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eShutter Island\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Girl with the Dragon Tattoo\u003c\/i\u003e all receive attention. The popularity of Poe's narratives in these contemporary guises is testimony to his visionary genius.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christine A.
