'In These Hallowed Halls' is a collection of stories about the subgenre of Dark Academia. There are multiple featured authors including Olivie Blake and M.L. Rio, authors who are known for their Dark Academic works or have spoken about their love for Dark Academia.

As always, anthologies are hard to review due to the multitudes of writing styles and stories but I did enjoy a few of them and I did dislike some others.

DID NOT FINISH: 0%

Personally, I'm not a fan of professor x student, especially the one in 1000 Ships.

Interesting as it made me wonder how dark academia is really defined as I feel that some of these stories fit better into the category than others
