After my last post about the lack of representation in academia, I felt it neccessary to provide some examples of what I’m talking about. Obviously there are more countries in the world than I can list and provide books for, so for a quick list this is what I got. !! Keep researching !! If you have any more books by POC please reply them !! If a country isn’t listed, that doesn’t mean it’s not important, this is just what I could get together real quick. If I made any mistakes, please let me know, we’re all learning. We need to help each other end eurocentrism in academia, so value representation and educate yourselves 💓💓💓
Brazilian:
Hello, all! I am looking for recommendations of Dark Academia works (novels, short stories, films, television series) based on true crime. I would be grateful for any suggestions for my list. Thank you!
I am intentionally casting my net widely, defining the Dark Academic genre (as opposed to the aesthetic) as one that focuses on an academic setting and educational experience, employs Gothic modes of storytelling, cultivates a dark mood by contemplating the subject of death, and offers critique for interrogating imbalances and abuses of power.*
Below the cut is my current list of Dark Academia Works Inspired by True Crime Cases. All suggestions are welcome!
Dark Academia Works Inspired/Informed by True Crime Cases
Note 1: “True crime” is defined here as a specific case (for example, a murder or missing person’s case), not as a larger historical event (for example, the Salem Witch Trials or the Opium Wars) or an amalgam of cases (for example, general hazing in fraternities). Note 2: This list is in chronological order based on the true crime case. Note 3: Some works that aren't fully DA but incorporate DA sections are included.
TRUE CRIME: 1897 disappearance of student Bertha Mellish from Mount Holyoke College DA novels: The Button Field by Gail Husch (2014) Killingly by Katharine Beutner (2023)
TRUE CRIME: 1924 killing of Bobby Franks by University of Chicago students Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb DA Novels: Compulsion by Meyer Levin (1956) Nothing but the Night by James Yaffe (1957) Little Brother Fate by Mary-Carter Roberts (1957) The Secret History by Donna Tartt (1992) These Violent Delights by Micah Nemerever (2020) Hollow Fires by Samira Ahmed (2022) Jazzed by Jill Dearman (2022) DA films: Rope (1948), Compulsion (1959), and Murder by Numbers (2002)
TRUE CRIME: 1932 kidnapping and killing of Charles Lindbergh, Jr.; 1933 kidnapping and killing of Brooke Hart; and 1932-1934 crime spree of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow DA novels: Truly Devious books by Maureen Johnson (especially the first trilogy, 2018-2020)
TRUE CRIME: 1944 killing of David Kammerer by Columbia University student Lucien Carr DA film: Kill Your Darlings (2013)

*(I go into this definition in further detail in my segment here on the StarShipSofa podcast, my graduate course on Dark Academia, and my 2023 academic essay "Dark Arts and Secret Histories: Investigating Dark Academia.")
I spend a lot of time thinking about this moment in The Golden Raven and how I think it’s kind of a symbol of Neil and Andrew's first Big Fight as a couple.
Because, don’t get me wrong - my boys are head over heels In Love at this point. But it’s a messy kind of love, and they’re both learning how to put their pieces together and when and how to trust each other as they do so. And while their love is rock solid, it’s not perfect.
Okay now that I've gotten that out of my system some gay film recs loosely sorted from fucked up to wholesome

המתח ביני לבין ספרים עם סאבטקסט הומואירוטי על קבוצה של סטודנטים למדעי הרוח שמבצעים פשע בלתי יתואר אבל מחליטים לשמור על זה בסוד עד שבאופן בלתי נמנע הוא ממוטט את החברות שלהם מבפנים, בונוס אם הדובר הוא פשוט-לכאורה, בו זמנית טוב בלהתבונן וחסר מושג, מוקסם על ידי כל החברים שלו אבל בסופו של דבר היחידי שמתמודד עם השלכות המעשים שלהם.
האמת שחשבתי לקרוא את if we were villains! הוא טוב?
עוד לא סיימתי (עוד 50 עמודים ואני שם 🥲) אבל אהבתי מאוד! עברו יומיים והזנחתי את כל האחריות שלי בשביל הספר הזה (כרגיל) כי באמת ממש קשה להניח אותו!
בגדול הייתי ממליצה על ההיסטוריה הסודית קודם כי if we were villains נכתב 20 שנה אחריו אבל יש להם וויב כמעט זהה (רק שאני חושבת על ההיסטוריה הסודית כמקורי ועל iwwv כמעתיק קצת). ולמרות זאת זה לא מוריד מהערך של שניהם ואני חושבת ש-iwwv באמת באמת מרתק ומעניין ושווה קריאה!!!
אני אשמח לקישור, תודה! D:
שמעתי שגם הספר Vicious הוא בסגנון הזה. קראת אותו במקרה?
לא קראתי אבל אם הוא בסגנון אני אבדוק לגביו! (שמעתי מטיקטוק שגם the atlas 6 הוא בסגנון אבל לא שמעתי על הסופר והתקציר שלו לא מוסר הרבה מידע ככה שאני לא בטוחה)
תהני!!
אני עכשיו קוראת את ההיסטוריה הסודית והדמיון בין "הסיפור היחד שאוכל לספר אי פעם" ל"רַק עַל עַצְמִי לְסַפֵּר יָדַעְתִּי"
אני יודעת שזה מעבר למשפטים דומים ואני משתגעת
OUGUHH I'VE READ 'THE PILLOWMAN' 😭😭😭😭 It was absolutely brilliant and I'm already drawing about it lmao. Katurian K. Katurian I love you aaaaaaaa. It is horrifically tragic but also funny, thought provoking and Kafkaesque. It's also a very short and easy read. Here it is if you want to read it too!! The next time I'm in London I'm breaking into the National Theatre Archive to watch the original production with David as Katurian just look at him!!
