This site is Witch Christina's archive of free occult, magic and mythology etexts and ebooks. Subjects include gods and goddesses, spellbooks, fairy tales, tarot, rituals, Freemasonry, horror tales, Celts and Druids, and many more. A nice resource.

Here's an unusual band! Calavera Calavera hail from Madrid. They play a fusion of industrial electro, Caribbean and goth music. You can check them out by listening to their four songs available on Bandcamp.
Dead Souls
Dead Souls is a Joy Division tribute band from San Francisco. I've checked out a few of their Youtube videos and I'm impressed by the vocalist!
DARK SHOPS:
Eye Kandy Cosmetics
While not specifically tailored to goths or the dark alternative scene, Eye Kandy Cosmetics sells some really cool glitter and mineral sprinkles that I think might appeal to cybergoths and perkigoths. They also present a "Liquid Sugar" sealant to help keep the pretty shiny stuff on your eyelids. but

Impero London
This London company offers bespoke luxury leather clothing. Not everything here will speak to your goth sensibilities, but I think you'll enjoy looking through the things here. Check out the Men's leather tailcoats, for starters.
My favorite garment here is this leather corset dress coat.
