Rant: When Did Gothic Go To Hell?

What happened to Gothic? Where did it go? And who are the black clothed demons that took it’s place? There are times when I get totally pissed over little things. This is one of them. I have been a fan of Gothic since the mid 1970′s. My entire life has been built around Gothic. I wear 13th century gowns of rose velvet. Haunted houses are more than a hobby, they are the core of my existance. Top hats and frock coats are part of my daily wardrobe. I wear burnoose and houplandres and cockscombs. Men I love are romantic owners of haunted house dressed ala Vincent Price. At age 9 my favorite book was Jane Eyre. Gothic flows through my viens. More than half of my fiction books are Gothics written from the 1850′s through the 1970′s.

So what brings on this rant? I just did a Google search for Gothic fiction, because a search on Harlequin’s website revealed that they no longer sell Gothic fiction. You know what I got back as results? Vampires. Death. Sex fetish cloths and weapons. Death. Black leather. Death. Demons. Death. Grim Reapers. Death. Blood lust. Death. Suicide. Death. Depression. Death. More Death. And, well death again. Not one single book. No romance. No haunted houses. No 13th century fashions. In other words, not one single solitary thing that is Gothic.

From what I can tell of Google search, the Gothic of today is nothing like the Gothic I grew up with as a child. Where is the romance? Where are the castles? Where are the handom men in poet blouses and frock coats? When did Gothic die and go to hell? When did Gothic raise from the depths of hell and return as a pit of demonic blackness of suicide and depression? When did Gothic stop being Gothic and start being Satanic?

Where has Gothic gone, and what is this grim blackness that claims to be Gothic today?

Pronouncing your weird username??

I have been asked this question.

EelKat.

I could not even begin to count the ways people have tried to pronounce it. LOL!

I always thought it was quite easy to figure out, but I guess I was wrong, after talking to some people in person, I realized just how much no one knows how to say EelKatwell, if you know the book, than you know that EelKat is a talking black bobcat from Planet Diona and she raises pet eels…. her name is thus EelKat: Eel as in eel, a long snake like fish, and Kat as in bobcat or cat…

eel + cat = EelKat

I love eels ~~~

I love cats >^..^<

I am EelKat ~~~>^..^<

eeek!!! what is so hard about that?

BTW: EK is pronounced: eeek!!! like the old comic book Eeek The Cat!

I love this car!

HEY!!!! I hit post #111 and I didn’t know it!!! (That’s the liscene # on Scrooge’s 1936 Dusy)….

ain’t it a beauty though?????
