1. Welcome to the Dark Academicals Book Club!
A new season, a giveaway and who on earth we are
Hi, we’re Sophie and Sarah. We’re readers, writers, bloggers and podcasters.
At the beginning of 2022 we launched a brand new passion project, a podcast called The Dark Academicals, where we *puts on podcast voice* delve into the mythos of dark academia one book at a time.
We’re gearing up for the start of Season Three of The Dark Academicals as well as the launch of this newsletter. To celebrate we’re giving you the chance to win the book that started it all: ‘The Secret History’ by Donna Tartt.
Not just any copy. The 30th Anniversary Edition. Look!
All you have to do to enter is make sure you are subscribed to this newsletter. So if you’re already here and subbed, you’re in! If not, just hit the button and put your email into the box at the bottom.
We’ll contact one random winner by email. If they do not respond in 3 days, we will pick another.
What is ‘The Dark Academicals Book Club’?
Each month we’re picking one title we want to explore with you. It might be a book featuring on a past, present or future season of the podcast. It might just be something in the same wheelhouse.
Join in with the conversation on Instagram or Twitter, or on our TikTok where you might catch us on Live!
This newsletter is completely free, but if you’d like to support us and haven’t already, please check out the podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, or even buy us a coffee.
