If your ideal dark academia aesthetic 📓 fell into a lezzy cottage core dream 🍄‍🟫.

A reading moodboard collage for This Vicious Hunger by Francesca May to accompany my sapphic horror book review. Image features dark academia elemetns, like old books, along with moody botany imagery, like roses and late-fall foliage.

University setting, angsty sapphics full of longing and obsession, and a lush garden with a cozy space for reading, researching, devouring.. What more could you want? The visual of "This Vicious Hunger” may just be the most sapphic combination possible. Love it!
