BEACH READEMILY HENRY

❝ And that was the moment I realized: when the world felt dark and scary, love could whisk you off to go dancing; laughter could take some of the pain away; beauty could punch holes in your fear. I decided then that my life would be full of all three. There would be purpose. There would be beauty. There would be candlelight and Fleetwood Mac playing softly in the background.

(pardon me for my cluelessness)

  • The Furies by Fernanda Eberstadt
  • The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
  • Circe by Madeline Miller
  • Ovid's Metamorphoses for Greek mythology enthusiasts

[Remember: Some of these books have dark academia as their major aspect but most of them have dark academia as their minor aspect, and many of them have been put into the list because I got a dark academia kind of vibe from them. Moreover these books have a lot more to offer than just Dark Academia, even if we ignore that aspect, these books are just great pieces of literature. This list is entirely created out of my own reading researches, friendly recommendations, and book recs from reddit, pinterest and the internet in general. If I have gone wrong somewhere or if you want me to add something new, feel free to drop an ask.]
