About this book

Bringing together the work of international scholars, this book investigates the well-known conceptualization of poison as connected to seemingly contrasting ideas of 'deviousness', 'insidiousness' and 'usefulness,' demonstrating how these understandings manifest in a variety of culturally informed discourses and narrative contexts across popular culture.
