If I was bound for hell, let it be hell. No more false heavens. No more damned magic. You hate me and I hate you. We’ll see who hates best. But first, first I will destroy your hatred. Now. My hate is colder, stronger, and you’ll have no hate to warm yourself. You will have nothing.

Jean Rhys, from Wide Sargasso Sea, 1966

Are they… you know… running away together?

Redrew that old Jane Eyre storyboard I made freshman year of college. (Now featuring less panels and better lighting!)

(If someone doesn’t make a book/movie about their relationship, I guess I’ll just have to do it myself)

“I hated the mountains and the hills, the rivers and the rain. I hated the sunsets of whatever colour, I hated its beauty and its magic and the secret I would never know. I hated its indifference and the cruelty which was part of its loveliness. Above all I hated her. For she belonged to the magic and the loveliness. She had left me thirsty and all my life would be thirst and longing for what I had lost before I found it.”

About the options: These are all Dark Academia but with girls, or related to that. (My definition of Dark Academia because really anything gets tagged that: as a genre fiction piece it must be dark and it must be academic. Dark, meaning involving death or themes of oppression or evil in the human heart; Academic meaning there is a focus of study, recurring reference to a subject of study, or more simply that most of the story takes place at a campus or schoolhouse of some sort.)

Wide Sargasso Sea is—apparently—a 1960's feminist and postcolonial retelling of boarding-school-girl-turned-governess Jane Eyre, but this time told from the point of view of Bertha Antoinette. (I have just finished reading Jane Eyre and wondered about what other works with which this book is already in a sort of literary "conversation". I have not read this book.)

Down a Dark Hall is a 1974 young adult gothic story about—judging from the movie—five girls sent to an exclusive boarding school where supernatural experiments in ghost possession are done on them. (I recently watched the movie and have not yet read the book.)

Picnic at Hanging Rock is a 1967 historical fiction story that takes place in the year 1900 in southeast Australia, also has mystery and—it seems, depending on how many chapters in the edition—science fiction elements. (I recently watched the 1975 movie and the 2018 miniseries, and have not yet read the book.)

Cracks by Sheila Kohler is a 1999 novel that takes place in a girls' boarding school in 1960s South Africa. (I only watched the movie, which set the story in Britain in the 1930s instead and eliminated the 1990's flashfoward. I have not yet read the book.)

I have already both read The Moth Diaries by Rachel Klein and watched the 2011 movie adaptation, and I recommend both if you like Dark Academia that's about girls—even though, be warned, The Moth Diaries contains a lot more blood and death and intensely feelbad themes than the average Dark Academia book or movie.
