Abstract
In gathering information on how poisons have been used in fictional writing, I analyzed 187 texts. The types of poisons used varied slightly from those that have been used in actual cases of murder, but the primary ones did appear. In fiction, cyanide was used more often than arsenic. Table 9-1 summarizes the poisons used in fictional writings.
