Game of Thrones Episode 207, A Man Without Honor
Some long-neglected characters got some welcome face time, the bad guys acted like jerks, the good guys also acted like jerks, and the episode title actually makes sense. That makes for a good week on Game of Thrones. I’ve been pondering how the various factions in Game of Thrones map to real-world politics, or at least where they fall on the conservative-liberal spectrum (full disclosure, I’m what you’d call a pragmatic progressive). Interestingly, where fantasy fiction tends to paint repressive, conservative societies as the bad… Read More »
Panel of Experts: Facebook
Question: What do you think of Facebook, its current role, and its future? Facebook seems to be winning the SNS battle for the hearts and time-sucks of horror professionals. We worry about privacy issues on Facebook and we worry about how much creativity energy it can use up. But we love the elegant user-friendly interface. It is just so easy to use Facebook. Plus, although a few of us boycott the site or visit it very rarely, most horror writers and editors and artists seem… Read More »
Gothic Fashion Sister Site Gothic.org Launches
At Gothic.net HQ, we love dark literature and horror movies . . . and spooky makeup tutorials and velvet frocks. A lot of people like all of those things, but a lot of people tend to kind of like either the former or the latter. Although Gothic.net will continue to cover the occasional exemplary gothic fashion item, in the interests of setting things up for you to see what you want to see, we are launching a gothic style sister site at Gothic.org. Gothic.org will… Read More »
Game of Thrones Episode 206, The Old Gods and the New
In this week’s episode, nothing terribly unexpected happened, unless you count all the drastic (and sometimes bizarre) ways the series is starting to diverge from the novels: random nurses, kidnapped dragons, and slightly less rape. Things start off with Theon Greyjoy’s brave storming of Winterfell, sneaking over the walls in the night and wrenching it from the old men and children who’d been left to protect it. Then he proudly claims his title as a prince from a crippled 10-year-old. Theon’s not even terribly good… Read More »
Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine (Paying Market)
Founded in 1956, Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine is probably the longest-running mystery magazine on the newsstand today. If your dark writing has a mystery structure to it, this might be a good venue for you. Initially, Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine licensed the Alfred Hitchcock name. Hitchcock the man was not an editor of the publication, but his television show did adapt a number of stories from it for the small screen. Since the early 1980’s Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine has had female editors, first Cathleen… Read More »
Maria Alexander Interview: At Louche Ends
I was asked to interview the accomplished Maria Alexander for Gothic.net, and the more I researched and read about her and her work, the more intrigued I became with the artist herself. She has proven her abilities time and time again in fiction and poetry, along with her unmatchable creative side which touches on singing and martial arts, as well. Her life travels and experiences show in her eloquent words and the worlds she builds. With her poetry collection, AT LOUCHE ENDS: POETRY FOR THE… Read More »
Game of Thrones Episode 205, The Ghost of Harrenhal
Every character’s trajectory was altered in this week’s pivotal episode. From exotic Qarth to the frigid north, all the aimless meandering stopped as plans shifted and lives diverted (or just ended). So who is the Ghost of Harrenhal? We dive right in with a crucial scene that leads right off from last week’s bizarre shadow-monster birthing incident. Renly is in his tent with no one around but Brienne, there to protect him, and Catelyn Stark, there to forge an alliance between Renly and her son… Read More »

Tuesday May 8th at 7p.m. Dark… Read More »
