New Goth Links for January 4, 2011

DARK ART:

Lisa K. Weber

This gallery features illustration, fine art, and textiles. This artist did the artwork for the Darkside Zodiac calendar. My favorite of her fine art is "The Princess and the Crow." The artist also has an interesting but infrequently updated blog.

Ken Wong

Ken Wong's illustration and design portfolio. My favorite is "Alice Vs. the Matrix," shown above. I also am intrigued by Sanctuary. Check out his character design for Red Riding Hood.

KriSoft

Clever art dolls made of paper. I get a kick out of Carpathian matryoshka nesting dolls. This artist's blog is in French.

Mademoiselle Ombr'elle

A French artist's gallery of sculptures (art dolls). I like the sculptures, but wish the photography was better lit.

DARK LITERATURE:

Grim Reviews

This blog specializes in H.P. Lovecraft, weird fiction, and dark phenomena. I'm so glad I found this blog. Recent posts include a nice overview of H.P. Lovecraft biography covers, info on the Last Lovecraft movie premiering in February, and a review of the best weird horror of 2010.

Sunset

An online serial vampire novel that appears to have been published in 2008. I'm impressed that the author actually finished this - I've seen so many online novels fizzle and die out after three or four well-intentioned chapters. Some nice dark reading here for a cold winter's night.

DARK MOVIES:

TerrorFeed

Horror movie trailers, clips, and shorts. Currently featuring lots of clips from The Walking Dead.

DARK TOYS:

Cheery About Agnes Dreary

A Yahoo! group for fans of the Agnes Dreary collector dolls. Most months seem to have over 300 posts, so this is a fairly active fan group.

DARK TV:

The Buffyverse Addict

Once upon a time, there were countless thousands of Buffy fan websites, most of them disappointing. Fortunately now we have blogs instead of Geocities websites, and casual Buffy fandom has disappeared. Now we have well-done blogs like this one, a good way to keep up with what's going on in Buffy fandom. This blogger has been writing away steadily since 2008 and posts frequently.

HORROR:

Blood Sprayer

A really nicely designed horror website. It features news, columns, horror art, event coverage, and reviews. Definitely worth a look if you're a horror fan.

Ghouls on Film

A spunky horror movie blog. I love the "Dear Ripley" advice column!
