13 Dark Academia Films + Books You Need to Watch & Read 🕯🎻☕️📜

Hey friends! I've been really into dark academia films this autumn, so I wanted to share some of my recent favorites along with some book recommendations as well.

I also want to apologize for not explaining the movies well. I always struggle with giving summaries, so thank you so much for bearing with me. I could gush over how much I love a film for hours, but give you a summary of characters and the plot? Yeah, I struggle.
