Please note that magazines will only be listed here if they actually offer a substantial portion of their content online.

Please let me know if you run across a zine listed here that doesn't offer any stuff to read for free, right now, and online! Dark, Goth and Horror Zines The AntiCraft - Sinister crafters present us with a delightful blog and zine. Currently demonstrating an End of Days kit, Anarchist's nightlight, and a breakfast tray made with barely concealed rage. This is TOO cool! Ariadne's Thread - A zine subtitled "A Journal of the Dark." Currently featuring some short stories, including "The Gardener and The Wyrm," "15 Minutes as a Corpse," and "Vestal." BlueBlood.net - Highly recommended! The paper magazine is legendary, and its amazing companion website is worth visiting every day or two for new content. High quality articles and photos on fashion, music, and literature. Blogs, community postings, and a newswire, too. This is pretty much the center of the goth universe as it stands today. Extremely professional and high quality. Their MySpace page is here. Chaos Control - A webzine for darkwave, gothic, and dance music, with interviews and reviews. Some surprising choices on interview subjects (Devo, Billy Idol). Cherry Bleeds - A well done literary zine featuring art and words by suicidal writers. "Published with blood since '00." Essays, poetry and stories. The Creep Machine - A webzine covering alternative, underground, outsider, lowbrow or pop surrealism art. Much of the art here is quite dark. Interviews, articles, featured artists, and a gallery. Dark Culture Magazine - Cinka publishes monthly, if not more frequently. This site is nice to look at, and offers news links, a podcast, features and articles, columns, a photo gallery, and a message board. I enjoy this site even more every time I come back to it. Highly recommended! Fears Magazine - Science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Movie reviews, book, game and music reviews; art and comics; a pod cast; contests; a monthly scary radio show; and an artwork gallery. Their MySpace page is here. Gothic Angst Webzine - Just what I've been craving, a new good goth webzine. This one currently has articles on decorating for the dark days of winter, art of the oblong box, album reviews, fashion and music articles, and a column on holiday shopping. Their MySpace page is here. Not updated in 2 months last time I checked though. Gothtronic - A fabulous music zine. I'm kicking myself for being so far behind in updates that I've not stumbled onto this enjoyable zine sooner. Music reviews, ar ticles, festival info, and movie reviews. Recommended. Grave Concerns Ezine - Goth, industrial, darkwave, and EBM music reviews, interviews and news. The Harrow - A magazine featuring fantasy and horror fiction, and some occasional poetry and artwork. I enjoy the stories they publish here. Still going strong in 2007 with high quality writing. Their MySpace is here. The Judas Kiss Magazine - A magazine covering dark and apocalyptic folk music, neo-folk, and dark ambient. Their Myspace is here. Legends Magazine - "The darker the music, the brighter the mind." Extremely well known magazine, which started printing in 1990 and got on the net in 1996ish. Music and literary zine with music reviews, music interviews, DVD/film reviews, fiction and horror, fantasy and sci-fi, book reviews, rants and essays. Thank the dark gods for Marcus Pan. Sadly, this has not been updated since 2006. I'm leaving the link up in case you find the reviews archive helpful. The Mick - Mick Mercer's free PDF webzine with tons of high quality, well written goth band interviews, reviews, news, and more. Morbid Outlook - Mistress McCutchan's very professional, attractive zine. I'm impressed she's still putting this much work into it. Articles, fiction, reviews, events, radio, postcards on fashion, music, art, lifestyle. Highly recommended! Their Myspace is here. Movement Magazine - In print since 1992, online since 1998. Music news and reviews. Moving Hands - A very cool zine covering ebm, industrial, goth, alternative, folk, and industrial music. News, over 1100 music reviews, a music release calendar, photo gallery, and Nordic alternative charts. ReGen Magazine - A webzine with news and articles on industrial, synthpop, electronic, and alternative music. X-Project Paranormal Magazine - Very well done paranormal magazine with articles and news on UFOs, ghosts, true crime, and cryptozoology.
