Goth authors are gifted, knowledgeable, and creative. Whether you're looking for sheer delight from Tumblr postings, nostalgia from hearing classic Goth music, or style inspiration from adult Goths who have graduated from Hot Topic, these blogs are aimed to educate, entertain, and astonish you.
The Everyday Goth
Mary Rose, the 20-year-old student behind The Everyday Goth, a blog and Tumblr, is a prolific writer and poster with a lot of style. Her Tumblr is filled with vintage Goth clothing, makeup, and homages to iconic Goth icons like The Addams Family. Visit her site for in-depth advice and suggestions on all things Goth, including music, fashion, and home décor.
Gothic and Amazing
Gothic and Amazing is a micro-media conglomerate with a lifestyle magazine, a Facebook page, and a Tumblr account. Their Tumblr account is the most notable of these. Follow them on Tumblr to be treated to lovely, artistic photographs of Goth beauty on a daily basis. Their looks range from traditional Victorian to innovative, and they've even been known to wear post gothic pants on ladies of colour.
Vincent Van Ghost
Vincent Van Ghost is a tribute to the glory days of the Goth subculture, when The Cure ruled supreme and The Rocky Horror Picture Show and glam rock were still fresh in everyone's minds. Elaina, the face behind Vincent, has created an intriguing Tumblr filled with her own (great) Goth art, a decent selection of downloadable Goth tracks à la MySpace, and a page dedicated just to girls like David Bowie.
The Gothic Mermaid
Nemo Sirene, the inventor of the Gothic Mermaid, is a visual force to be reckoned with. While selfies are no longer helpful, Nemo's self-portraiture is noteworthy for its diversity and creativity. Heavy black makeup and blue or purple hair can be swapped out for blonde or even shaved hair on occasion. In addition to her affinity for both dark and pastel Goth apparel, her blog has models, mermaids, classic Goth motifs, and highly sensuous images.
Gothic Charm School
Gothic Charm School, a book on etiquette for Goths and their loved ones (which I've read and recommend! ), was written by Jillian, aka the Lady of the Manners. On Tumblr, she posts anything from ink wash Xenomorphs to screencaps and animated GIFs of famous Goth movies, tours of Gothic houses, and great Goth apparel.
Mortisia
You'd be hard pressed to find a Goth with a more artistic or poetic spirit than Mortisia. Follow her Tumblr for references to early film, vintage Hollywood, the glory of European cities, the beauty of Japanese culture, and much more, all with a Gothic twist. Look for informative blogs that explore notable Goth subjects, like as Edgar Allen Poe, in addition to spare photographs that ooze ambience.
