Murder Most Foul: The Killer and the American Gothic Imagination.
Harvard University Press, 1998. First edition. Hardcover. First printing, near fine hardcover shows a couple of wrinkled page corners and just a hint of shelf wear, in a near fine dust jacket (price at flap) that shows a couple of rub spots at bottom edge of rear panel. 322 pages with black & whites and index. Still a pleasing copy of this work that "..explores the changing view of murder from early New England sermons read at the public execution of murderers, through the nineteenth century, when secular and sensational accounts replaced the religious treatment of the crime as the manifestation of sinful human nature, to today's fascination with socio-psychological anatomies of murder." Near Fine in Near Fine Dust Jacket. Item #32202
