The Secret History. First edition, first printing, inscribed by the author on the half-title, "To Sandy - warmest regards, Donna Tartt". This modern-day Greek tragedy follows a group of close-knit classics students at an elite New England college as they try to cover up the consequences of their Dionysiac experiments. It was an immediate success and has since been credited with popularizing "dark academia" as a genre.
