Definition of dark academia in English:

dark academia

1. An internet subculture concerned with higher education, the arts, and literature, or an idealised version thereof with a focus on the pursuit of knowledge and an exploration of death.

2. A set of aesthetic principles. Scholarly with a gothic edge – tweed blazers, vintage cardigans, scuffed loafers, a worn leather satchel full of brooding poetry. Enthusiasts are usually found in museums and darkened libraries.

MEDIA REVIEWS

"An excellent addition to any dark academia collection" -GeekGirlAuthorityPraise for Olivie Blake"Lethally smart. Filled with a cast of brilliantly realized characters, each entangled with one another in torturously delicious ways" CHLOE GONG"As much a delicious contest of wit, will, and passion as it is of magic, this book is half mystery, half puzzle, and wholly a delight." HOLLY BLACKPraise for M.L. Rio"Nerdily (and winningly) in love with Shakespeare…Readable, smart.” New York Times Book Review"A genuinely breathtaking literary thriller. I can’t recommend this book highly enough." EMILY ST. JOHN MANDELPraise for Susie Yang:"A truly addictive read." GLAMOUR"White Ivy is The Talented Mr. Ripley for the Instagram Age" BUSTLEPraise for J.T. Ellison:“Elegant, propulsive, and utterly unputdownable… The work of one of our most talented thriller writers at the very top of her game.” Lisa Unger"Beautifully written, psychologically chilling... J.T. Ellison proves she's our new Daphne DuMaurier." Hank Phillippi RyanPraise for Layne Fargo:"As utterly wicked as it is empowering" ALLISON DICKSON"Raw, ingenious, and utterly fearless" WENDY WALKERPraise for James Tate Hill:"A dry, witty humor, while frequent plot twists keep readers on their toes until the final pages." BOOKLIST"The dead-on parody of academic jargon and the well-spun plot alone make this mystery worth reading." PUBLISHERS WEEKLYPraise for David Bell:"Grabs you by the throat and never lets go... with a twist you’ll never see coming.” Liv Constantine“A dark, twisty journey through the labyrinth of academia... One of David Bell’s most unique and engrossing novels.” SAMANTHA DOWNINGPraise for Tori Bovalino:“A glorious, darkly atmospheric journey into the disturbing power of books." TASHA SURI"Wicked and sharp as a pen stroke, this is a delight for library goths." A.J. HACKWORTHPraise for Phoebe Wynne:"Rebecca meets The Secret History: gloriously dark, gloriously Gothic." Sara Collins"A smoldering slow burn of a novel that I could not put down.” JENNIFER SAINTPraise for Kate Weinberg:“Weinberg weaves intrigue worthy of Agatha Christie – you'll love getting lost in The Truants' web of mystery, desire, and deceit.” M. L. RIO"A moody, well-wrought debut, heavy on shades of Donna Tartt's The Secret History.” Entertainment WeeklyPraise for Kelly Andrew:"A haunting, dreamlike tale of sacrifice, love, and obsession." Cassandra Clare"Twists and revelations that will stop your heart and make your blood run cold." Aiden ThomasPraise for Helen Grant:"Highly propulsive, incredibly seductive.
