Halloween 2023: 31 Days of Dark Academia, October 31
HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 🎃 I hope you’ve enjoyed this year’s countdown, and I hope you have a fabulous Halloween!
Dark Academia novel: When All the Girls Are Sleeping by Emily Arsenault (2021)
Quote:
Most of the girls had simply heard the same things about the Winter Girl over their years at Windham that I had: that her name might be Sarah. That she haunted in January or February. That she knocked on doors or could be seen in a white nightgown in the hallway if you got up and ventured to the bathroom after midnight. That she was to blame for the various weird noises in the building on winter nights. That she had been spurned by a young man and killed herself in her room. One girl said something I hadn’t heard before, though: Some girls say that she’s looking for her replacement. That she’s tired of being a ghost, that she’ll strangle or smother you in your bed if you’re not careful. And then you’re the ghost. Â
