In this commentary, De Quincy uses black humor to make a tongue-in-cheek statement about the impact of crime. His writing had a remarkable impact on crime, terror, and detective fiction and was praised by critics like G. K. Chesterton and George Orwell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.1 x 8 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 03, 1827\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53377667727693,"sku":"9781646795574","price":16.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/3304\/7117\/files\/dDZjUmJpU2cybFRzVTRrVGpieFhBQT09.webp?v=1771304127","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.us\/products\/on-murder-considered-as-one-of-the-fine-arts-paperback","provider":"belfastbooks.us","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
