Thread! 🧵🎃 📚 Happy October! This month I'll be making a daily #Halloween Countdown post on the theme of #DarkAcademia, with a separate book recommendation and atmospheric, eerie quote each day.
This will be "Part 2," in a way, adding to a previous thread, which I reposted recently with the tag #31DABooks.
I hope you enjoy these posts!

#Genesis by #BernardBeckett (2006)Quote:
In the end, living is defined by dying. Book-ended by oblivion, we are caught in the vice of terror, squeezed to bursting by the approaching end. Fear is ever-present, waiting to be called to the surface.30/32

The #GemmaDoyle trilogy (2003-2007) by #LibbaBrayQuote from #AGreatAndTerribleBeauty (2003):
What frightens you?
What makes the hair on your arms rise, your palms sweat, the breath catch in your chest like a wild thing caged? Is it the dark? A fleeting memory of a bedtime story, ghosts and goblins and witches hiding in the shadows? Is it the way the wind picks up just before a storm, the hint of wet in the air that makes you want to scurry home to the safety of your fire? Or is it something deeper, something much more frightening, a monster deep inside that you've glimpsed only in pieces, the vast unknown of your own soul where secrets gather with a terrible power, the dark inside?

#TheHistorian by #ElizabethKostova (2005)Quote:
As a historian, I have learned that, in fact, not everyone who reaches back into history can survive it. And it is not only reaching back that endangers us; sometimes history itself reaches inexorably forward for us with its shadowy claws.27/32

#InMyDreamsIHoldAKnife by #AshleyWinstead (2021)Quote:
It turns out the real you is a quilt, made up of the light and the dark. The life you’ve lived in sunshine and your shadow life, stretching underneath the surface of your mind like a deep underwater world, exerting invisible power. You are a living, breathing story made up of the moments in time you cherish, all strung together, and those you hide. The moments that seem lost. Until the day they’re not.18/32
