Abstract: Dark literary tourism is a new niche tourism type born from the combination of literary tourism and dark tourism. In this study, it is aimed to share the systematics of designing dark literary tourism routes based on the work of an author who witnessed the period. In this context, Halide Edip Adıvar's book Türkün Ateşle İmtihanı which was personally present in the battlefields, was analyzed. While examining the work, geographycentered reading technique was used. While using this technique, the work was analyzed in accordance with the themes and sub-themes of geography. Based on the fact that the author mentioned the names of the settlements one-to-one, the current names of these places were determined. Then, three dark literary tourism routes were developed by checking the suitability of the names of the settlements to the route. Thus, a new route planning that can be used in dark literary tourism has been made. This study, which aims to support regional and local development, will guide the formation of new tourism markets. The study, which will provide a perspective on dark literary tourism, a new niche tourism type, from the battlefields, will also contribute to the creation of routes that can be used in battlefield tourism.
