Two queer teenage boys form a close bond, then gradually develop a private game between them to plan a philosophically motivated murder, choose a victim and carry out their plan – the plot of novelist Micah Nemerever’s These Violent Delights will seem familiar to anyone with a passing acquaintance to the Leopold-Loeb case, but this can not be lumped so quickly into the category of an outright adaptation.Īs stated in his author’s note, this book was partially inspired by Nemerever’s short-lived teenage interest with the Leopold-Loeb case. I would highly recommend reading this book for yourself before reading further.
