About this listen

A dark academia anthology of poetry, art, quotes, musings, fashion, and more... Embark into a world of midnight shadows and secrets, of books and learning, mystery and intrigue. This book is written for the dark academic: the student, the scholar, a seeker of truth, a lover of lost art and dusty tomes. For keepers of the perpetually burning flame. So take my hand, dear listener and let yourself fall into the world of dark academia. Within the walls of this labyrinth, your mind will be enticed by titillating quotes, original dark academia poetry, paintings of women reading books and partaking in sword-fights, lush gothic architecture, eastern and western mythology, DA inspired music (from Vivaldi's darkly passionate "Winter" to instrumentals like "Enemies to Lovers," anyone?).

You'll also discover the history of dark academia and its various subcultures, i.e., light academia, witchy academia, classic academia, etc., and dark academia fashion from around the world (there is a whole other world beyond the tweed and blazers that will leave your aesthetic palate delighted). This coffee table art book is rife with darkly beautiful excerpts from authors, poets, and philosophers who have inspired generations of dark academics. It also offers practical guidance, like where to meet fellow dark academics, how to connect with yourself deeper through shadow work, a list of dark academic activities you may not have thought of to indulge yourself in yet, and quotes that make for thought-provoking journaling prompts. Whether you're a dark academic or gifting this book to "that friend," this book makes a deliciously aesthetic listen.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
