Gr 7 Up—References to and quotes from authors such as Edgar Allan Poe, Mary Shelley, and Ann Rice add substance to this series about four popular literary genres. The titles cover history ("The oldest love stories in the Western world can be found in the Bible and in ancient Greek myths"), subgenres, character types, elements of the genre, and famous books and writers. Some of the same authors show up in multiple volumes (e.g., Edgar Allan Poe is mentioned in Horror, Science Fiction, and Mystery). Bodden frequently gives examples of films that have been inspired by literature. Movie stills, portraits of writers, photographs, and reproductions provide visual references for the topics. Important words are highlighted and defined in the glossaries.
