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.
I love the Dark Academia trope/subgenre and J.T. Ellison, who is one of my auto-buy authors being part of this makes it even better, though I’m excited for all of the stories.
Will you be checking this one out? What upcoming releases are you looking forward to?
