Where Melancholy Meets the Page

Welcome, kindred spirit.

This is a literary space for those drawn to the quiet, the sorrowful, the beautiful, and the strange. Sad Girls in Literature explores melancholic female archetypes across classic, gothic, and contemporary fiction. We read it all, from Sylvia Plath to V.C. Andrews and everything in between.

Here, sadness isn’t weakness — it’s subtext.
