dark tourism novel

Dark tourism novels often reflect real - world dark tourism by depicting places with a troubled past. For example, novels set in former concentration camps or battlefields show the real - life locations that attract dark tourists. They may explore the emotions and reasons why people are drawn to such places. The sense of morbidity and the search for a deeper understanding of history are common themes that connect the fictional and real - world dark tourism.

Some might consider 'The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' by Robert Louis Stevenson as a dark tourism novel. The dark alleys and hidden parts of London that Mr. Hyde frequents can be seen as places of a rather dark 'tour' in the story. Then there is 'The Haunting of Hill House' by Shirley Jackson. The haunted Hill House is a destination that attracts those interested in the supernatural and the dark, much like a place for dark tourism in a fictional world.
