{"product_id":"thrillers-chillers-and-killers","title":"Thrillers, Chillers, and Killers","description":"Film noir is one of the most exciting and most debated products of studio-era Hollywood, but did you know that American radio broadcast many programs in the noir vein through the 1940s and 1950s? These included adaptations of such well-known films as \u003ci\u003eThe Maltese Falcon\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMurder, My Sweet\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eDouble Indemnity\u003c\/i\u003e, detective series devoted to the adventures of private eyes Philip Marlowe and Sam Spade, and the spine-tingling anthology programs \u003ci\u003eLights Out\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSuspense\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eThrillers, Chillers, and Killers\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book to explore in detail noir storytelling on the two media, arguing that radio’s noir dramas played an important role as a counterpart to, influence on, or a spin-off from the noir films. Besides shedding new light on long-neglected radio dramas, and a medium that was cinema’s major rival, this scrupulously researched yet accessible study also uses these programs to challenge conventional understandings of the much-debated topic of noir.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Rutgers University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54846584029528,"sku":"9781978836396","price":108.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781978836396.jpg?v=1777949118","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/thrillers-chillers-and-killers","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
