EditorialHello reader! As you certainly noticed, if you know this newsletter, its colors and other details have changed, and this means that the entire design of the site changed as well. I hope you'll find the new design more useful and appealing. And this isn't the only change... There's a forum in which you can discuss gothic culture and other matters with all of us and other visitors who may stop by, and in time I hope that the interest on the forum will grow enough for it to become a more sophisticate board. You can visit it here. Now you can send ecards to your friends, with exclusive images and several themes for your choice. Every month, images will be added and changed. You can see them here. There are new articles, of course. The former Month's Subject section was renamed to Darklore, and this month the article is about Ghosts & Hauntings. There you can find information not only on the old legends, but also on the point of view of those who believe in them and those who don't. The Music section has the story of one of the best bands of goth rock, Type O' Negative, and the Library section has the life story of a very cynic but creative horror writer of the late 19th century, Ambrose Bierce. The Movies and the Visual Arts sections have articles about two classics of the gothic culture: the silent movie "The Cabinet of Dr.Caligari" and Hieronymus Bosch, the Medieval painter, author of some of the most terrifying images of hell. There are also two new stories by Moonlight and Andrew Wooldridge and a new poem by Stuart Howson; and last but not least, 3 new illustrations in the Image Gallery, accompanied by excerpts from the works of Keats, Aeschylus and G.C. Harman. The columnists Heidi, Susan and Bernhard, the writer Moonlight, all the contributors and I would like to wish you a very good month, lots of fun in the end-of-year parties and that your next year will be filled with progress and release from any problems that may be bothering you. Your webmistress, Marion Phillips Fighting Against DestructionThe Dark Tower V: Wolves of the Calla by Stephen King, Bernie Wrightson (Illustrator)
Readers of Stephen King's epic series know Roland well, or as well as this enigmatic hero can be known. They also know the companions who have been drawn to his quest for the Dark Tower: Eddie Dean and his wife, Susannah; Jake Chambers, the boy who has come twice through the doorway of death into Roland's world; and Oy, the Billy-Bumbler. In this fifth novel in the saga, their path takes them to the outskirts of Calla Bryn Sturgis, a tranquil valley community of farmers and ranchers on Mid-World's borderlands. Beyond the town, the rocky ground rises toward the hulking darkness of Thunderclap, the source of a terrible affliction that is slowly stealing the community's soul. One of the town's residents is Pere Callahan, a ruined priest who, like Susannah, Eddie, and Jake, passed through one of the portals that lead both into and out of Roland's world. As Father Callahan tells the ka-tet the astonishing story of what happened following his shamed departure from Maine in 1977, his connection to the Dark Tower becomes clear, as does the danger facing a single red rose in a vacant lot off Second Avenue in midtown Manhattan. For Calla Bryn Sturgis, danger gathers in the east like a storm cloud. The Wolves of Thunderclap and their unspeakable depredation are coming. To resist them is to risk all, but these are odds the gunslingers are used to, and they can give the Calla-folken both courage and cunning. Their guns, however, will not be enough. Monsters With Human FacesBed Of Nails by Michael Slade

Roland
Deschain and his ka-tet are bearing southeast through the forests of
Mid-World, the almost timeless landscape that seems to stretch from
wreckage of civility that defined Roland's youth to the crimson chaos
that seems the future's only promise. 
This
story is about an insane serial killer who's known as the Ripper, and he
believes he's the legendary Jack The Ripper.
