Crime fiction has been one of the most popular genres since the 19th century, but has roots in works as varied as Sophocles, Herodotus, and Shakespeare. In this Very Short Introduction Richard Bradford explores the history of the genre, by considering the various definitions of "crime fiction" and looking at how it has developed over time. Discussing the popularity of crime fiction worldwide and its various styles; the role that gender plays within the genre; spy fiction, and legal dramas and thrillers; he explores how the crime novel was shaped by the work of British and American authors in the 18th and 19th centuries. Highlighting the works of notorious authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, and Raymond Chandler -- to name but a few -- he considers the role of the crime novel in modern popular culture and asks whether we can, and whether we should, consider crime fiction serious "literature."

Great paper
Model: Kraft er Paper 002
Great product. I'm using this for shelf paper. The paper is clean, a good weight, easy to work with, and a good price. The paper also comes with white cord which I was not expecting. I highly recommend this item.

Nice quality butcher paper
Model: Kraft er Paper 002
This is great paper. It even comes with a spool of string for tying up whatever you’re wrapping if that’s how you’re using it. I’m using it to cover my sublimation projects in a heat press and it works perfect.

Great thickness and color
Model: Kraft er Paper 002
This paper was great for wrapping Christmas gifts this year. It was a good color white and was easy to write names directly on, no need for tags! The weight of the paper was great and tape also held up easily. It is perfect for medium to small packages. Purchased item.

My Go-To Sublimation Paper — Flawless Results Every Time
Size: 8.5"x11", Size: 8.5"x11"
This is hands down the best sublimation paper I’ve used and the only one I continue to buy. I get a perfect transfer every single time—no fracturing, no fading, and no uneven results. The paper dries fast, which makes my workflow so much smoother, especially when I’m producing items in batches.
I use this regularly to make air fresheners and tote bags for my small business, and the color payoff is always vibrant and crisp. The transfer rate is excellent, and it works beautifully on light-colored, high-quality polyester and other sublimation-ready surfaces.
If you’re a small business owner or crafter who values consistency, quality, and ease of use, this paper is absolutely worth it. I highly recommend it and will continue to repurchase.
