Dark Fiction

[close] Gothic Revival is a gathering place for readers who love the eerie elegance of Gothic fiction — from timeless classics like Jane Eyre and Rebecca to modern masterpieces like Mexican Gothic and The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. Whether you’re drawn to crumbling manors, haunted hearts, or secrets that echo through the halls, you’ll find kindred spirits here. Join us as we explore the shadows where romance meets mystery, and the past never truly stays buried.

[close] A group for fellow lovers of the flawed female protagonist, dark themes, depressing plots, dark humor, characters that make messy decisions but are “oh god that’s me” types of relatable, and everything else us fellow hot girl book enthusiast enjoy. Think of “my year of rest and relaxation”, “American psycho”, “boy parts, my dark Vanessa”, @cleopatra and Frankenstein” and so on. I’ve struggled with finding a blanket term for these kinds of books. They don’t necessarily all fall under the same genre. There is simply an aura that surrounds the pages that immediately lets you know you’re reading a hot girl book. Romance, historical fiction, sci fi, horror, comedy, nonfiction. There are no limits to what a hit girl book can be.

[close] This group is for readers and writers who want more from literature than distraction. We read books that carry weight, atmosphere, conflict, silence, memory, and truth. We talk about fiction, short works, children’s books with depth, literary storytelling, and honest writing that leaves an echo. This is not a group for empty hype, forced positivity, or shallow promotion. The goal is simple: better reading, better writing, sharper discussion, and real literary growth. If you care about voice, tone, structure, emotional restraint, symbolism, mood, and what a book is really doing beneath the surface, you are welcome here.
