academic horror novel

In general, novels aren't academic texts. Academic texts are characterized by formal language, citation of sources, and a specific purpose of contributing to knowledge in a particular field. Novels, on the other hand, often tell fictional or semi-fictional stories to engage the reader emotionally and imaginatively.

😋I recommend the Finance Novice System to you. This book was about Wang Zhenji, who had a double degree in accounting and refused to do an internship in South America. However, he unexpectedly received a proposition-setting task prompt system. By making good use of the system, he had displayed his skills in the business world and become a successful businessman. I hope you like my recommendation.😗

Yes, the novel "The Eldest Miss of the Chu Family Hasn't Abducted the Seventh Prince Today" was about the story of the female protagonist reincarnating many times, all of whom had memories, and with the obsession of her previous life, she finally got together with the Seventh Prince. I recommend this novel to you. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~😗

The female lead was a midwife who dressed like an ancient sick person. She couldn't be saved by Western medicine, but after learning Chinese medicine, she became a medical concubine with excellent medical skills. The book had elements of ancient romance, business, and farming. It was a very interesting novel. I hope you like my recommendation. Muah ~

There was a case where a researcher was on the verge of a major discovery. But his jealous colleague stole his research notes and published the findings as his own. The original researcher had no proof and faced a great setback in his academic career. He had to start anew and prove his worth all over again.

Plagiarism accusations are also quite common. Sometimes, students might accidentally use improper citations and be wrongly accused. And then there are those horror stories about being cut off from research resources. For instance, a library suddenly losing access to important journals right when a student needs them for a paper.

Academic horror novels often have a more intellectual backdrop. For example, in 'The Secret History', the knowledge of Classics and the academic environment are integral to the horror. It's not just about jump scares but about the corruption of knowledge and ideas.

An academic novel often features an academic setting like a university. It may have characters who are professors, students, or researchers. The plot usually involves academic rivalries, the pursuit of knowledge, and the politics within the academic world.

Unprofessional interviewers can create horror stories too. Some might be checking their phones during the interview or seem uninterested. One person told me that the interviewer was yawning constantly, which made them feel like they were boring the interviewer. This lack of professionalism from the interviewer's side can really put off the candidate and make the interview a horrible experience.

I would also suggest 'The Magicians' by Lev Grossman. It's set in a magical academy. There are elements of horror as the characters face dark magic, the loss of innocence, and the often cut - throat nature of academic competition in a world of magic.
