The late Edward Gorey was an artistic genius, lending his unique tenebrous artwork to mainstream media.  Chances are you have seen Gorey's handywork countless times and never knew it.  In turn, he has inspired an entire generation of mad for macabre artists who carry on the Gorey traditions of details and subtle disturbances.  Explore his official website, shop, and enjoy this beloved master of the bizarre!

I love this site!  Pushin' Daisies dubs themselves a "mortuary novelty shop".  They have the most fascinating and ecclectic merchandise I have ever seen!  Where else could you find a chocolate casket, coffin luggage, skull bandages, tombstone soaps, Six Feet Under DVDs, reaper T-shirts, hearse cufflinks and Egyptian collectibles all in one place?!  They even have a chat board called "Coffin Talk" to connect with other TENEBROUS minded individuals.  Take time to surf their entire shop - you'll be amazed with what you find!

Who can resist a pirate?!  Why "Captain Jack Sparrow" is enough to make any young wench swoon and shiver Mistress' timbers!  If you love pirates or know someone who does, we have surfed the seven seas and found a booty of great sites to explore and shop!  Become savvy about pirate history on "Pirate's Realm".  Shop like a prirate at "Dead Men Tell No Tales" and "The Pirate Soul".  Dress like a pirate with "The Pirate Store" and "The Leather Works".  Still not enough for you scurvey dogs and scalliwags?  Then be sure to stop by and visit the world famous "Sailor Jerry" with his legendary tattoo work and gift shop treasures.  If ye be a landlubber after this, then ye be forced to walk the plank!

Click to visit Loved To Death!
Well, Vamps and Ghouls, it is almost the bloodiest and most dreaded of days ... Saint Valentine's Day!  This February 14th could bring a deep sense of  haunting romance and a warm "squish" to your senses.  Mistress has searched and found some celebratory items sure to keep the unworthy away and draw the attention of that special mate your precious tenebrous heart truly deserves.  Baubles are always traditional tokens of affection, so when darker tastes dictate try Paraphernalia, Raven Eve and Loved To Death adornments to enchant your beloved.  For the allure of eternal beauty, Mistress has found a new delight in Morbid Mists fragrance line and the "Twilight" inspired Volturi cosmetics.  She especially loves the Twilight Lip Venom - it looks like a vial of blood and gives your lips a sexy "bitten" look.  For the Valentine that needs to cuddle in the darkness, Mistress suggests plushies from Emily Strange and Teddy Scares.  Emily's "Wolf Kitty" is especially adorable!  Finally, to seal the deal, present your true love with the essential Valentine candy, a chocolate heart - anatomical of course - courtesy of Blue Lips

My Sister went to Salem Mass. recently and brought back the coolest T-shirt for me as a souvenir.  The label led me to the creator's website, "DARK SIDE INK".  What an awesome find!  They design some of the most unusual T-shirts that will definitely start up conversation.  They also offer a line of  very interesting hand poured candles they call "DARKNESS FALLS".  Mistress adored their moto, "Everyone has a Dark Side!" ~ be sure to check them out!

2009 marked the bicentennial of Edgar Allan Poe's birth (January 19, 1809 – October 7, 1849).  A brilliant and misunderstood man, Poe gave us some of the most definitive, macabre literature ever written in his short life.  His works have inspired countless artists for the past two centuries.  In honor of this special occasion, Gothic Alchemy has issued some exquisite commemorative jewelry.  Be sure to check it out!  Also, stop by the http://www.poemuseum.org/ for a run down on the festivities still to come.  The http://www.houseofusher.net/ is an incredible source of works and information to keep you up all night.  If reading isn't your cup of tea, Mistress is especially fond of the 8 timeless Poe films created by the legendary director, Roger Corman.  House of Usher, Pit and the Pendulum, Premature Burial, Tales of Terror, The Raven, The Haunted Palace, The Masque of the Red Death, and The Tomb of Ligeia can all be found on DVD at Amazon.comHowever you choose to celebrate, be sure you do!  Take a sip of absinthe, curl up in your favorite shadowy nook and let the master of horror drive you into a delightful depth of tenebrous madness!
