Last I checked, it was nowhere near Halloween. And, while Michaels and other craft stores are known for stocking supplies on the early side so you can decorate and craft in time for the holiday, it’s… April. A bit early for code orange. Still, Michaels Nevermore collection is spooky AF.
If you love Halloween year-round, the new Nevermore decor by Ashland can definitely help you transform your home to match your Dark Academia aesthetic. They also work for witchy gifts if you need one of those.
So, here are some of my favorite items from Michaels’ reportedly Edgar Allen Poe-inspired product line. Who knows, maybe it’ll inspire you to write your gothic novel. Or bring out your inner Morticia.
The Coolest Items in Michaels Nevermore Collection
1. Arch Wall Accent
This wooden accent piece comes in 14.5″ and 17.” If you’re feeling super crafty, you could adhere it to the back of a chair and somehow create a throne. Or, get a bunch of them and turn your living room into a gothic cathedral. You’ve probably already got enough candles to help with that.

2. Black Iron Birdcage
Cloches are so last season. This year, it’s all about iron birdcages to show off your prized possessions.

3. There Is No Beauty Without Some Strangeness Sign
Accurate. Need we say more?

4. In the End We All Become Stories Typewriter Sign
For that not subtle memento mori reminder.

5. Strange and Unusual Sign
Channel your inner Lydia. And your outer Lydia.

6. Gothic Floral Shelf
This dark cottagecore mini shelf is ideal for holding crystals, unlit candles, and tiny sculptures or other knicknacks. Probably too small for Uncle Knicknack though.

7. Be Nice or Leave Sign
You heard it. Pair it with this gold stand if you want it to place it on a tabletop.

8. Metal Moth
This pretty pink moth is just over 10″ wide, and feels very gothic romance meets dark cottagecore.

9. Oh My Goth Pillow
This plaid pillow feels a little on the nose. But, in case your friends missed the memo, just point to the pillow.

10. Heart Cloche
I know I just said cloches were out. This sacred heart-inspired bookshelf decor feels like it’s worth the exception.

11. Being Normal is Overrated Wall Decor
This sign can help remind of you of this the next time you feel a sudden urge to shop at the Gap.

12. Ornate Gothic Frame
Finding cool frames can be such a pain. Pick up a bunch of these ornate black frames so all those prints you buy can go up on the wall.
13. Gothic Mirror
Immediately yes.
14. Bad Decisions Make Good Stories Typewriter
Well, that’s true.
15. Woman Blowing Bubble Sculpture
I’m on the fence about this one. It feels a little like a fun pop art meets Dark Academia item but also like one that might just collect dust.
16. Black Butterfly Frame
On the other hand, this lovely metal frame covered in butterflies feels like a must have.
17. Not a Morning Person Mug
As countless people have pointed out on TikTok, Michaels really missed the opportunity here by writing morning instead of “mourning.” (They also missed the opportunity to literally include a single raven in the entire Nevermore collection.)
18. Rosebud vase
This simple bud vase well look lovely on your altar if we do say so ourselves.
19. Gold Snake Dish
No ravens? Fine we’ll settle for a serpent.
20. Vintage Teacups with Candles
Not actually vintage. Are actually filled with candles in scents of honey and vanilla.
