Serial Killer House
The feel of the place was oppressive, the sunlight stopped at the window panes like it was afraid to enter. It left a murky unwholesome feeling inside me. But I shook it off and looked instead at a voyeur’s paradise. I got to go through some poor guy’s life and poke around and judge him! How awesome is that?
Goths and RPGs
I have noticed in my years as a nerd that many people who are attracted to games that allow you to be someone else are Goths. The more control you have over who the character is and what they do, the better. Thus, while many of us like other types of games, we usually favor RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons or Vampire: The Masquerade.
Defend Thineself: A Goth’s Guide to Self-Defense, Part 2
Despite being aware of your surroundings, you can still be attacked. This article discusses how to defend yourself if you don’t have access to a weapon.

GATHERING STEAM
After 20 years in the local Goth scene here in San Diego, I began to notice some of my friends exploring a new (to me) subculture called “Steampunk.†My own firsthand experience was attending San Diego’s first Steampunk convention last year: The Gaslight Gathering Steampunk and Victoriana Convention. Although Steampunk tends to browns, brass and bowlers – black is always in fashion and people had clearly adapted some of the Gothic attire to this alternate subculture.

Chirality [ALBUM REVIEW]
I was instantly reminded of those dark textures when first hearing Italian darkwave band The Frozen Autumn. Their image, aesthetics, and atmosphere present on their latest album Chirality is something sorely lacking in today’s “oontz oontz” dark music scene.
Thunderbird Encounter
An avian noted for it’s size and strength it can easily snare a child in its razor sharp talons. In some stories it has been know to grab a buffalo calf then fly away, outlined by flashes of lightning and the noise of thunderous wing beats along with the terrified scream of its prey.
The Frugal Goth
Lots of black, coupled with creativity and ingenuity and a flare for the extraordinary is all one really needs to achieve a Goth look on a budget.

Dark Adrenaline [ALBUM REVIEW]
While one could argue that Lacuna Coil has leaned more toward metal and away from goth with their last few albums, the overall feel that makes the band distinct is still definitely present on their new 2012 album Dark Adrenaline.

The Graveyard Poets [ARTICLE]
In this article, we will look at the Graveyard Poets and their connection to the Gothic Movement. The Graveyard Poets, known as the founders of the Graveyard School, were a group of poets from the mid to late 18th century. They were neoclassical in style, and it is said that they paved the way for the Gothic and Romanticism movements. As their group name suggests, they enjoyed writing while in cemeteries, and their works portrayed that. Their themes were often concerned with death, gloom, religion, and mortality.
