Did I leave anything out? What would you add?

If you're a fan of queer dark academia, thrillers, or toxic co-dependent murder-husbands, you've probably heard of Micah Nemerever's debut novel from 2017, These Violent Delights in which two teenage boys living in 1970s Pittsburg trap each other in an all-consuming, ever-escalating relationship.

Paul is insecure, sensitive, and currently grieving over the recent death of his father. More than anything, he wants to create something beautiful and leave an everlasting mark on the world to prove his life has meaning.

When he meets Julian, an effortlessly charming and magnetic classmate who takes notice of Paul's unique view on the world, Paul feels he's being truly seen for the first time in his life. He believes Julian sees his potential for brilliance and will do anything to prove himself worthy—of Julian's love, his expectations, and his expectations of himself.

When nothing ever feels good enough, Julian begins cautiously encouraging the dark glimpse he catches of a hidden side of Paul's personality—an uncontrollable, involuntary penchant for violence.

As the strain of their relationship threatens to break, they decide that the only thing to save it is to plan something irreversible together—something violent and therefore beautiful.
