Quiet-Tone13 on November 12, 2023 8:35 am The Secret History by Donna Tartt is the standard starting place and the best the genre has to offer. If you really loved The Secret History and want something very similar try If We Were Villains. If after The Secret History you want something more literary try Old School by Tobias Wolff or Stoner by John Williams. If you want some fantasy-infused dark academia try The Magicians by Lev Grossman, The Vita Nostra, or Babel by R.F. Kuang.
