Cyanide and Sin offers a broad history of the true crime magazine in America with an emphasis on its visual content, during the 1950s. There have been numerous publications on the history of pulp and crime fiction. Cyanide and Sin is the first book to look at the impact of the visuals used to accompany these stories. 'Crime lent itself readily to some of the most powerful impulses within modern image-making. It gave photographers drawn to social marginality subjects with which to avoid the sentimentality that too easily clings to images of the poor or downtrodden.' Designed by Alexander Gelman and Andrew Roth. Item #3275
