Heh. That’s why I was so short in my post. I don’t have the skills or the patience for a long post on a small screen.
Back on topic: this was a new term to me and while I think I get it and I take your point about not defining it too narrowly, I think
Brideshead Revisited as one example is something of a stretch. I get the nostalgia for earlier more aristocratic times, but I think “dark” has to mean more than that. Also, the Oxford portion was only half the story and not the point. I did love it, though, while I didn’t care for
Secret History at all and abandoned
Ninth House. Not my cuppa.
I love what I think of as “campus” or “school” books, so now I want to give some thought to which might qualify, at least by the loose definition.
