A Murder of Link Dumps
Famous Poems Rewritten as Limericks – I do like “The Raven” a lot.
Ugly Halloween Sweaters – I don’t know who could possibly call these gorgeous things “ugly.” I would wear the hell out of all of them.
Death is Annoyed – Amusing ‘toon.
Cobra Cake – Unlike a lot of decorated cakes, this snake made of Bundt sections and molded Rice Krispie treats seems achievable by mere mortals.
Romanov Costume Ball – These colorized photos from the 1903 Romanav fancy-dress party has some fantastic cosplay inspiration.
Cheese Graveyard – Super-easy idea for a Halloween party snack.
The Twisted Hatter – Several cool crochet hat designs, including a gorgeous kraken in Halloween colors.
American Gothic Venn Diagram – Southern vs. Midwest vs. Pacific Northwest.
vampires who adopt each other into very specific family roles – An amusing Tumblr thread about “chronological” age vs. “acts like” age.
Evolution – Not really goth, but a rather nice poem.
