The Secret History meets Lie with Me in Micah Nemerever's compulsively readable debut novel—a feverishly taut Hitchcockian story about two college students, each with his own troubled past, whose escalating obsession with one another leads to an act of unspeakable violence.

When Paul enters university in early 1970s Pittsburgh, it’s with the hope of moving past the recent death of his father. Sensitive, insecure, and incomprehensible to his grieving family, Paul feels isolated and alone. When he meets the worldly Julian in his freshman ethics class, Paul is immediately drawn to his classmate’s effortless charm.

Paul sees Julian as his sole intellectual equal—an ally against the conventional world he finds so suffocating. Paul will stop at nothing to prove himself worthy of their friendship, because with Julian life is more invigorating than Paul could ever have imagined. But as charismatic as he can choose to be, Julian is also volatile and capriciously cruel, and Paul becomes increasingly afraid that he can never live up to what Julian expects of him.

As their friendship spirals into all-consuming intimacy, they each learn the lengths to which the other will go in order to stay together, their obsession ultimately hurtling them toward an act of irrevocable violence.

Unfolding with a propulsive ferocity, These Violent Delights is an exquisitely plotted excavation of the depths of human desire and the darkness it can bring forth in us.

loved loved LOVED this book. reading this felt like the author himself reached into my brain and decided to write about it. everything here was perfect for me and i got through it quickly, which i usually don’t do for books. can’t recommend enough.

Kept Me Interested. I struggled with understanding some of the words and some of the imagery through words, but that is not the fault of the author. It was a difficult read for me, not because of the story itself, but because of my own skill set when it comes to reading. Otherwise, it is a great story that left my jaw on the floor at the ending. I really appreciated the author’s notes at the end of the book because it wrapped the story in a nice bow and made me think, “Aha, yes! That makes more sense now.” I’m glad I read this, but struggled sometimes because of my own reading handicap. It was graphic, yet not. It was gruesome at some points, but the author drew a line and never crossed it. I appreciated that! Same with parts that ventured down queer romance, there was a line that was never crossed because the book was about more than that. I’m interested in trying another book by this author!

Breathtaking. An amazing book. Had me staying up until 6:00 am to finish it. You simply fall in love with characters and the writing style. Your enthralled by them and want to stay by them forever. They all feel so real. They had done things or had thoughts I have also thought before. Ending is heartbreaking but lovely. 10/10
