This book explores the cognitive stylistic processing of prose and audiovisual fictional crime 'texts'. It also examines instances where such narratives find themselves, through popular demand, 'migrating' - meaning that they cross languages, media formats and\/or cultures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn doing so, \u003ci\u003eCrime Fiction Migration\u003c\/i\u003e proposes a move from a monomodal to a multimodal approach to the study of crime fiction. Examining original crime fiction works alongside their translations, adaptations and remakings proves instrumental in understanding how various semiotic modes interact with one another. The book analyses works such as \u003ci\u003eWe Need to Talk About Kevin\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Killing\u003c\/i\u003e trilogy and the reimaginings of plays such as \u003ci\u003eShear Madness\u003c\/i\u003e and films such as \u003ci\u003eFunny Games\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCrime fiction is consistently popular and 'on the move' - witness the spate of detective series exported out of Scandinavia, or the ever popular exporting of these shows from the USA. This multimodal and semiotically-aware analysis of global crime narratives expands the discipline and is key reading for students of linguistics, criminology, literature and film.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristiana Gregoriou\u003c\/b\u003e is Associate Professor in English Language at the University of Leeds, UK.
