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 The Closer and
Dexter, and movies from Laura and Vertigo to Shutter Island and The
Girl with the Dragon Tattoo all receive attention. The popularity
of Poe's narratives in these contemporary guises is testimony to
his visionary genius.
