A gothic-inspired digital illustration on a clean, white background. The central composition features a stack of old, ornate black books with golden details and worn textures. Atop the stack sits a realistic human skull. Surrounding the books are blooming pink roses with dark green leaves, and a few vintage butterflies, giving the scene a dark romantic aesthetic. Behind the stack is a gothic cathedral window with pointed arches, framed by black ink splatters. On the right side of the image, the following quote appears in stylized black gothic calligraphy: "I still read fairytales, they're just dirtier now" Decorative swirls and floral embellishments subtly frame the text, blending elegance with a dark, edgy tone.
