Darkly humorous and unapologetically gothic, this slow-burn campus romance pairs wit with dread in equal measure. For readers who want their dark academia clever as well as creepy, expect crumbling halls, mordant banter, and a romance that creeps up like ivy over stone. Death lurks at the edges of the syllabus, but so does an aching tenderness that makes the danger feel worth every blood-stained page.
