Overall, I thought that there were quite a few stories that simply were not dark academia, but just a campus mystery, so that pulls the anthology down in general. No stories were exceptional, though I definitely would have loved more of The Unknowable Pleasures. It ended too abruptly and I was invested.
Standouts were: Pythia, The Ravages, Four Funerals, The Unknowable Pleasures, and Phobos.
