Description

Dark Heroes are everywhere in contemporary popular culture and they have a long and rebellious literary history unknown to many. Unleashed academics, tutors, and ornamental hermits Alice and Rowan do a deep dive into the development of various dark heroic archetypes on a semi-weekly basis.  Everything from the Gothic villain, the Byronic Hero, and the femme fatale, to the sex appeal of Satan—we've got you covered.
