August 22, 2024 Sara Reed

Welcome to a special episode of Reeding Between the Lines with Sara and Nicole Reed! As autumn sets in, our reading moods shift to embrace the darker, moodier themes of the season. In this episode, we dive deep into the world of Dark Academia—a genre known for its gothic atmosphere, intellectual pursuits, and the sometimes dangerous paths they lead to.

Join us as we discuss iconic and intriguing Dark Academia books, starting with the classic The Secret History by Donna Tartt. We'll also explore more recent gems like Leigh Bardugo's Ninth House, the hauntingly beautiful Piranesi by Susanna Clarke, and the suspenseful The Cloisters by Katy Hays. Plus, we’ll touch on The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes, The Broken Girls by Simone St. James, and more!

If you're ready to immerse yourself in stories that combine academia, mystery, and a touch of the supernatural, this episode is for you. Tune in, get cozy, and let's explore the darker side of literature together!
