@thesebooksmatter: I adore Katabasis by RF Kuang! it's so funny which I just didn't expect! What happens when academia literally sends you to hell? In Katabasis by R.F. Kuang, two burned-out Cambridge PhD students are dragged into the underworld to rescue their impossible professor. Think dark academia, mythology retelling, and the biting brilliance you expect from the author of Babel and Yellowface. This isn’t just a descent into hell—it’s a razor-sharp look at academic burnout, power, obsession, and the cost of genius. If you love Dante’s Inferno meets dark fantasy, this is your next read #KatabasisRFKuang #DarkAcademiaBooks #FantasyBookTok #BooksThatMatter #RFKuang
