The cover of Unwinnable Monthly 181 features a closeup of a steel-toed boot next to a car wheel outfitted in shiny chrome hubcaps, a desert lizard scurrying along the ground in front of them.

A man in a horned hood is chained to cross beams inside a fairly nondescript room, though the whole scene has a surreal quality that gives the feeling something's not quite right architecturally.

A mist hovers above the sea in a black-and-white photo of the cliffs of coastal Maine. A quote above the image reads: "The sea is dangerous, but it takes without malice. Evil lives in the institutions of man."

Durham University's cathedral's famed stained glass window is illuminated in darkness. A quote above the image reads: "Dark academia necessitates exclusion; the greyness of the rest of the world pushed outside the special club of the university itself."
