GOTH LIFESTYLE:

The Gothic Imagination

The incredibly well respected interdisciplinary forum at University of Stirling, Scotland. It focuses on scholarly gothic pursuits. This incredibly important resource offers a Masters in literature. Besides a news section and blog, there's sections for reviews and interviews.

The Haunted Gardens

"A magical, mystical menagerie of earthly frights and delights." A "goth gardening" type site. Not updated very often, sadly, but when it is, it features high quality posts on weird, twisted, blackened plants you can grow to give your garden a haunted aspect. Recent posts include Toadshade; Snake's Head Iris; and Spooky Salix Gracilistylus.
