Underground literature is a literature that stands out with its opposition, marginal and anti-hero phenomena based on human
reality. Combining the theme of evil with irony, these types of works often include impressions of slang, sexuality and violence.

to develop with more novels.

the world and will try to locate in Turkey. In addition to its historical and sociological context, we will consider language,
technique and ideas on which it is based. We will try to examine whether it is a genre other than ‘mainstream or is it more
literature and language, its relationship with Gothic literature, the reasons for its emergence, the main sources it feeds, the
general themes it works, the characteristics of its heroes. Since the concept of underground literature and its basic features do
