There is an ever growing body of literature about dark tourism, mostly academic, but the topic occasionally crops up in papers and magazines too. The latter often paint a negative picture of dark tourism (in the usual "moral panic" fashion - cf.
here), but thankfully there are numerous exceptions too (e.g.
this one in German - from the Austrian tourism magazine "FaktuM" 9/2014).
Now and again there are also non-academic books coming out that are related to dark tourism or pick out sub-categories of it. The academic side, however, provides by far the widest range of reading material on dark tourism in print format (as well as in electronic form, of course).
This is not supposed to be a bibliography, just a short list of selected books that pertain to the general topic of
dark tourism and may thus be of interest to readers of this website (those who want to pursue the academic study of dark tourism are referred to the bibliographies in books like Sharpley/Stone 2009 and to the
iDTR website):
