Q: How do you define a dark book?Asked by Luella I., November 2020
At Down The Rabbit Hole we define dark books as a book without a happy ending. The books we will choose for you will have scary and dark plots, not so nice protagonists that will leave you questioning the world as it is. There will be no books with happy endings coming from us !
Q: Are these books for teenagers or adults?Asked by Jenny C., November 2020
Hi Jenny--
our books are intended for readers 18 and over.
I LOVE THIS! This is very similar to Once Upon a Book Club but with more of a dark/thriller spin. I haven’t been able to dive into the book yet but this looks AMAZING! I would soooo highly recommend for anyone who loves book subs!!
UPDATE: Finished the box and it was AMAZING. The gifts were super well thought out too. Highly recommend!!!
Hi Juliana--
We are very happy you loved your book box and our gift selections !
I got this for my 16 year old daughter, she received the box about 10 minutes ago. She was so excited that she has already read the book to the first gift and it gave her the chills! She can hardly wait for gift 2! I don’t know who came up with this premiss, but they are brilliant! Talk about getting into the story! One of my best purchases EVER!
Thank you Lisa ! We are glad your daughter loved our box !
OK THIS BOX IS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I absolutely love this book box! I’ve just received my third box and can’t wait to read and open the gifts! I’ve done other book boxes but this by far is the BEST! I’ve only bought a 3 month subscription but I’m for sure renewing! Thank you!

Hi Mickey-- Thank you for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your box ! We are looking forward to curating more boxes for you in the future! Happy Reading :)
This box was a gift from my husband and I was a little nervous because I like specific genres and authors. I started the book to get to the first surprise and before I knew it I was opening the 4th!! It draws you into the story and I don't want to stop reading. The gifts are perfectly curated. I cannot wait to finish the book and wait on my next month's box! I also love that there was a handwritten note of my husband's words to me when I opened the box. Thank you!!! And I have already spread the word and you should have at least one new subscriber soon!
Hi Amber--
We are so excited to hear you enjoyed your box ! Thank you foe such an amazing review and for recommending our box :) We are looking forward to curating your next box and sending you another dark read ! Happy Reading !
I only received one box. The plate was broken. They fixed that. I never did received the second box. Now they are sending my third box. I am missing the second.
Hi Christine--
We apologize you received a broken tea cup plate. We hope you enjoyed the replacement we sent. Our boxes begin shipping on the 18th or 19th of each month. Your second box shipped on 12/19. Your third box will ship on January 18th 2021 as scheduled. We will email you directly to answer any additional questions you may have.
The book is a novel and reads like a novel. I believe myself to be above-average in vocabulary, but found this book to have many, many foreign language references that since I don't speak Greek or French, just went over my head. I was sufficiently interested in the story line to read the entire book. This novel definitely met the definition of "Down the Rabbit Hole." I received a total of 5 gifts with 3 of them actually being a gift, and the the other 2 props from the book. I had really high hopes, but my opinion of this box with the gifts was just okay, and one of the gifts arrived broken. I am trying the December box to "give it a chance."
Hi Michele--
We are sorry you were unable to completely experience your book box due to one of your gifts arriving broken. We hope you are able to enjoy the new gift we have replaced and sent you. Thank you for giving us a second chance and we hope you enjoy your next book box.
Our first November book box was all about Dark Academia ! Our box included the 1992 classic The Secret History by Donna Tartt, bookish gifts and items directly mentioned in this dark read to truly enhance your reading experience.
Our December book box was all about dark hidden details ! Our Box was curated around Gillian Flynn's cult classic Dark Places. We included items mentioned in the books along with bookish themed items that can be used well after your reading experience is over! With this Box our readers were truly able to confirm if The Devil was truly in the details.
Our January box embodied love, memory, youth and loss all in one box. Our book box featured Jeffrey Eugenides's intriguing suburban tragedy, The Virgin Suicides. In our box we included items mentioned in the books along with bookish themed items that can be used well after your reading experience is over ! With this box our readers truly experience what it means what obsession, love and loss all means in one reading.
