The Gothic Beauty 25 Year Reunion of Original Artists calendar is a celebratory Kickstarter project created by Gothic Beauty, the long-running publisher behind Gothic Beauty Magazine and the Gothic Beauty Box. (Just for full transparency, I read Gothic Beauty as a baby bat and I sometimes write for Gothic Beauty these days.) This campaign marks a quarter-century of the magazine’s influence in the goth community, bringing together original artists and contributors to honor the publication’s legacy in a format that supporters can enjoy all year […]

Question: How do you feel fiction-writing and screen-writing compare? Gothic.net’s Panel of Experts weight in on the ways fiction-writing and screenwriting compare. Some of our experts feel writing fiction allows for more intricate character development and internal monologues, while writing for the screen requires a tighter focus on action and dialogue. Some find that writing for film or television requires more collaboration with directors, producers, and actors, while writing a novel or short story allows for more solitary creativity. Some find it all comes down […]

Question: Do you feel it is better for a book or story to be classified as horror or mystery or literature? Yes! This feature marks the return of Gothic.net’s popular Panel of Experts series! Part of the study of library science is figuring out how to categorize books to make them findable and comparable. Book classification can really impact which readers are likely to find the book a writer may have spent years crafting and perfecting. Sometimes a theme will definitely appeal to horror fans […]

Blue Blood has published California Deathrock, a gorgeous hardcover book of portraiture by Amelia G and Forrest Black. Both have served on our Gothic.net Panel of Experts (which we really should post more of) and both are famous for their individualistic portraits of counterculture people. Where a lot of photographers just see black lipstick, Forrest Black and Amelia G really showcase the personalities of their gothic subjects, as well as their incredible style. Kind of the advantage of having people actually in the scene doing […]

Question: If you had to label your work, what genre tag would you put on the bulk of it? Horror and dark fiction/art seem to be the two big winners here, in terms of how we would label our work, if we had to label our work. Many of us balk at having to label, however, and many of us feel like what we do is specific and not just generally horror when that genre label has such wide-ranging definition. Some popular additional categorizations include […]

Forrest Black and Amelia G just released a mock-up of the design for their California Deathrock T-shirt. A while back, we covered the Kickstarter they were doing for their California Deathrock project.

The image below is the mock-up of the shirt which features photography of the sort which can be expected to be in the book. Not sure if the shirt […]

Kickstarter is a service for independent artists. People who want to see an artistic project actually come to fruition pledge to, for example, buy a copy of the book if it comes out. Then, […]

Question: Do you like doing readings and signings? Interestingly, more than three quarters of us like or mostly like doing reading and/or signings. For some of us readings and signings are a crucial way of staying in touch with the people who read our work, an up-close-and-personal method for getting a sense of what the readers enjoy and what does not move them. We like being in front of an audience who cares about what we do. When Gothic.net asked the Panel of Experts this […]

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 […]
