Giallo (Italian pronunciation: [ˈdʒallo] plural gialli) is an Italian 20th-century genre of literature and film which in Italian indicates crime fiction and mystery. In English it refers to a genre similar to the French fantastique genre and includes elements of horror fiction and eroticism. The word giallo is Italian for yellow and comes from a series of cheap paperback mystery novels with trademark yellow covers.
