31 Days of Dark Academia: Halloween 2021
October 15: The Truly Devious Series by Maureen Johnson (2018-2021)
Quote from Truly Devious (2018):
It was, in short, idyllic and fantastical, and may have remained as such had it not been for that foggy night in April 1936 when Truly Devious struck.
Schools may be famous for many things: academics, graduates, sports teams.
They are not supposed to be famous for murders.

You are here. You are in. And doesn’t it feel good?

You are in the house and the house is in you.

October 10: This Is Not a Test by Courtney Summers (2012)
Quote 1:
We eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner to the soundtrack of our own impending death.
Quote 2:
Sometimes you catch something specific like the screams and cries of people trying to hold on to each other before they’re swallowed into other, bigger noises. This is what it sounds like when the world ends.

Who are the ghosts again, us or our dead? Maybe they imagined us first, maybe we were conjured out of the deep past by other minds.
