It's set only partly in an academic setting but it does fit many of the themes of dark academia: strong friendships, death/murder, characters who are driven by their passions, resulting in tragedies. So while it strictly probably shouldn't be considered a dark academia book, it does really fit well with the genre.

"The Chocolate War" by Robert Cormier seems like a glaring omission here assuming I'm not misunderstanding this latest literary/aesthetic trend.

I think that it is just about kind of Victors fascination with pain.

This genre can be defined broadly, but generally speaking the books have an academic setting and feature characters exploring darker urges, navigating crimes or dark secrets, or exploring dark speculative elements.

You folks do realize that not every Gothic novel is 'dark academia' just because it contains gothic elements, right? Half of the classics on this list don't even feature a school.

Most of them fit the aesthetic for the most part though. They defiantly have dark academia vibes

Dark Academia novels don't need to include a school. The reading of those novels can in itself be the vibe.

I'm confused -- very confused -- by this list. Many of the books listed -- perhaps a majority -- don't have anything to do with academia.

Where are the universities, colleges, or schools in "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey?" In "The Great Gatsby?" -- sure, there's about a page or less, if my memory serves me well, about Gatsby's days at Oxford, but that hardly makes it a novel with an academic setting.

Etc., etc., etc., etc., etc. . . .

I also don't understand the comments that say "the aesthetic" makes many of the books on the list literature about "academia." Ladies and gentlemen, most literature is concerned with the aesthetic, in that the author is an artist in the medium of literature.

Just because you were assigned to read the book in school does not make the book literature of academia.

Right?! Some people are talking about dark academia on twitter rn (there's a giveaway for Wilted Pages: An Anthology of Dark Academia) and people have to say their favorite. Half the votes are "some movie set in high school with hot actors."

Would Shirley Jackson's novel "Hangsaman" qualify as "dark academia?"

It is set in a small women's college, and traces the progress of a young woman as she loses her mind.

I don't think that the college is described as a dangerous place. If there is anything strange about it, it is that the college on the surface seems so ordinary.
