100 years ago, 22 Feb 1925, #EdwardGorey was born in Chicago. The American writer & artist was famous for his odd & #macabre illustrated books, both idiosyncratic & highly influential for the #Gothic style. Here are 4 books by him from our collection 
Si vous passez à #Nantes, faites un tour à la Monstrueuse Galerie : en ce moment, excellente exposition « Danse #macabre » jusqu’au 1er février 2025.
À travers l'#illustration et la #sculpture, La Satanée, Cap's Mary, Siméon et d'autres artistes se réapproprient ce motif intemporel issu du Moyen Âge.
I simply adore the meta-narrative around Tomb. An encrypted folder tool with a sense for the macabre.
#Halloween Week 03 - Dark Tourism 
What is #DarkTourism? Exploration of hidden places, the darker corners of the world. These locations all have a historical or contemporary association with death, macabre, catastrophe or tragedy. I believe that by acknowledging and exploring the darker chapters of our past, we get a fuller picture of what defines humanity.

#Halloween Week 01 - Creepy #AbandonedHospital
Kill or cure; these decaying medical facilities lay redundant and surplus to requirement. Asylums, their evocative long corridors with peeling paint and smashed windows. Almost pristine hospitals, with the power still on and beds still made. Silent operating theatres and empty wards.

"It was a lucrative business. Court records show that one buyer paid Denise Lodge more than $37,000, sending his payments with memos like 'head number 7' and 'braiiiiiins.'"

I'm going to try my best at an #introduction. I am here to talk about things I like, not shit on the stuff I don't. I #amwriting my first #novel (slowly). I love #punk, #horror, #history and all things #macabre #occult and #weird. Mainly obsessed with #movies and #film, especially horror, #scifi, #exploitation and #schlock. I love my wife, son and pets. A generally polite person working on my pessimism and #mentalhealth. Ask about my weekly movie marathon stream.

@Curator: New #introduction after hopping to a new server: A #GoldSmith and a #CAD designer, self employed since 2007. Hopelessly bad in maths or any other abstract or theoretic concept but if I draw it I will understand it, my worldview is fiercely #visual. Love old books, #art, #history, #drawing ,#costumes, patterns, mysteries and the #macabre.I own way too many #hats, a fat black #cat and won't stop having #tattoos.Hoping to share interesting arty things here.
