no Humans involved; Book Reveiw

Good afternoon Darklings,
            And what a cold one it is too. So it seems the perfect time to tell you about a book i have just finnished about ghosts, vampires, wherewolves and occult fanatics with a juicy slice of sacrifice i am of course tallking about the wonderful book 'No Humans Involved' by the wonderfully talented Kelley Armstrong.
The lead character Jaime is a TV and stage spiritualist who has been pushed into the spotlight by her mother from a young age. However she has a secret that her veiwers do no know she is legit and can actually see, talk and even touch the spirits of the dead. as part of the supernatural council it is her job to inform about being a necromancer and often has to call on those talents to aid herself. this story is about sacrifice though, child sacrifice. whilst on a shoot in Hollywood she begins to feel strange touches and whispers in the houses garden ghosts, but not as she knows them, fragmented, drained and trapped.
with the help of a dead dark witch, a demon, a werewolf and a half demon her mission is to free these poor souls and bring their killers to justice in a more permanent way.
Blessed Be!

Book Reveiw- Dodger

Good afternoon once again my Darklings,
             Today i will be doing a reveiw of the wonderful Terry Pratchets book Dodger. Telling the tale of how The Artfull Dodger came to be with apearences from Charles Dikins, Sweeny Todd and Her magesty the queen.
Through this wondefully told story we follow Dodger as he tries to solve the mystery of a group of Thugs who beat up a woman he saved named by her carers (after she was beaten) Simplicty. Dodger who is a London Tosher of the sewers gallantly protects this woman and does all he can to find the nasty 'cove's' who did this injustice to her whilst ending up being known as a hero due to a series of events hilst he is doing this task.
Set in Victorian England this is a must read for any who enjoy a little fictional historic reading and of course the fans of Terry Pratchet, Charles Dickings and the marvelous Dodger.
Blessed Be.

Spread the Plague!

Good evening my wonderful darklings,
              My my my my my, I am all a flutter this evening for i had the fortune to open my email today to find an email from the asylum mailing list and to my glee read that the wonderful Miss Emilie Autumn is coming back to Europe this year and i most certainly will be hoping to attend when she comes to the UK in september.
For those of you readers who have not as of yet sampled her enthralling music i suggest that you please do then scurry back here to tell me what you think ^^.
As for my existing Plague Rat readers I hope to hear that you are looking forward to going also.
I was unfortunate enough to miss her concert last year but i am very happy to know that i will get a second chance to see the wonderful F.L.A.G. tour ^^.
Thats all for now darklings and dont forget to spread the plague!
Blessed Be!

The influence of Japan

Greetings Darklings and witches ^^,
             It is a pleasure to have you visit my blog again and i thankyou for it :).
Todays post is about how the wonderful influence th\at japan culture has on the western world has influenced those of us in the alternative subcultures such as the gothic.
Firstly one of the more recent branches of gothic the gothic lolita has had a huge influence from its rise in the eastern world such as kimono style dresses being created like the one in the picture below
they come in many different colours and designs which makes them suitable for many different ocasions there are even ones in all black.

Then there is the rise in bands from Japan coming over to the UK and such and having a great number of supporters here. which all in all is a marvolous thing even if we dont allways understand the lyrics ^^.
It is never a bad thing to be influenced by other cultures and as a subculture we have done it for years from different era's of time and different cultures and all this has helped the subculture grow and expand into many different branches and also has spread the accesability of the shiny black things and wonderful music that we know and love all over the world so be creative and put whatever input you can into it for it makes us more accepted and remember to mind your manners so that we can have a good reputation in the future kudos and blessed be !
