Southern Goth in a Northern Town-February 2026: Nine - or is it ten? - Years of Southern Goth

I’m really not sure. It does look like the very first Southern Goth post was in February 2017, and it was about snow (meaning the lack of). So am I ending the ninth year and starting the tenth, or ending the tenth and starting the eleventh? I think I’m ending the ninth year and beginning the tenth. Wow. I’ve been doing this regularly, every month, with just a couple of hiccups here and there,…

Southern Goth in a Northern Town-January 2026: Writer’s Block SUCKS

So…there wasn’t a December 2025 post, even though it was going to be a Lady Hauntington one and I was really looking forward to writing it. But…I didn’t. Couldn’t, actually. I’ve got writer’s block. It is driving me quite mad, and I don’t know what to do about it. To get out of my head, I’m reading more, journaling, trying to art journal or make ATCs. I’ve joined a Sisterhood of the Traveling…

Southern Goth in a Northern Town-November 2025: For The Love Of Cozy Fantasy

It’s November. The days are getting shorter and colder. It’s time for sweaters and fuzzy socks, soup and homemade bread, and curling up with a dog, a cat, and a book. In the vein of all things cozy and comforting, let’s talk about what kind of book to curl up with. Cozy fantasy is a recent discovery (quickly followed by cozy romantasy). As the world darkens around us, both literally and…

Southern Goth in a Northern Town-October 2025: Spooky Season Blog - Liminal Spaces and Recurring Dreams

When I was making notes to myself about what to write for this blog, I jotted down “what’s spookier than liminal spaces and recurring dreams”? It was a passing thought, a place I thought would lead me somewhere else, but honestly…what is spookier than liminal spaces and recurring dreams? I asked Der Mann about his recurring dreams and…he doesn’t have any. The mind, it boggles. I thought…

Southern Goth in a Northern Town-September 2025: Photography Expeditions with Der Mann

Where to start? In the car, I suppose; that’s where these expeditions usually begin. When I started my social media experiment for my author pages, Der Mann decided he should get more serious about his photography as well. He set up a Flickr and an Instagram to showcase his photos and then…nothing for a while. Neither of us had any idea of what to do, as he doesn’t care to photograph people or…

Southern Goth in a Northern Town-August 2025: Lab Shenanigans

Lady H: Good evening friends and fiends! The moon is full, so it is time for the Full Moon at Midnight podcast with your hostess, Lady Hauntington! Tonight, we have a special guest, as I am still recovering from the horror that is July. (We all know how I feel about July. It is truly the worst of months.) Many of you have expressed an interest in what my dearest Lord Hauntington found when he…

Southern Goth in a Northern Town-July 2025: A Micro Story in Threads

I posted this in threads back in March, when I had this dream. I don’t know what triggered it (my mind…it is a strange and unusual place). However, I do follow several sites that do basically flash fiction in micro-posts, like the_campsite_official, themacabremarketplace, and, of course, lakelanierofficial. Since the dream involved Lake Lanier specifically, I thought I’d put it out there…and tag…

Southern Goth in a Northern Town-May 2025: Why Is It So Much Easier To NOT Do Things?

I know, I know – right now the world is on fire and there is craziness everywhere. It is stifling and horrible and paralyzing. But I’m talking smaller things here – just the inertia that comes from the very familiar “well, I can still get it done tomorrow”. Keep saying that enough and it never gets done. But it’s so, so easy to say. There’s always so much to do today, that “I can do it…

Southern Goth in a Northern Town-April 2025: It’s Easter Month!

Well, it is this year; Easter moves around, as we all know. For Easter this year, I’m getting a visit from an Atlanta friend and I’m very excited about it! (Actually, she’ll have already gone home by the time this posts, but rest assured that shenanigans ensued because they always do). As I wrote in my last post, Easter season is the time for the Annual Hoarding of the Cadbury Eggs. The day(s)…

Southern Goth in a Northern Town-March 2025: It is time!

Time for the annual hoarding of the Cadbury eggs. I’m a Cadbury dragon, I admit it. I love the filled Cadbury eggs, the ones you can only get at Easter (in the U.S.; when I was in England, I found out that they make them all year ‘round, only they come as bars if it isn’t Easter. I was in heaven.) Honestly, it started off as a joke. Many friends knew I loved them, so one year, it seems like…

Southern Goth in a Northern Town-February 2025: Nine Years of Southern Goth

Wow. The blog has changed a lot since I started it and next year will be a full decade! What shall I do to commemorate that? Okay, I have an idea, but that’s a while away, though the time does seem to pass quickly. But this blog has changed a lot since I began. There is even less North vs. South on here, and more creative stuff – writing, art, photography…and perhaps I’ll even conquer my fear…

Southern Goth in a Northern Town-January 2025: New Year

New year, new goals, what do I want to do in 2025? Most years, I put out my goals for the next year, and then…well…Life Will Happen and goals will fall by the wayside. So, I have been considering that maybe I should revise my thinking. Maybe I should set up some projects to work on throughout the year, instead of setting goals that I sometimes can’t make, and not reaching goals makes a mess of…

Southern Goth in a Northern Town-November 2024: The Tale of The Rangoon Revenge

Good evening ghouls and ghosties; the moon is once again full and it is time for the Tale of the Rangoon Revenge. I do appreciate your patience with Lord Hauntington, and all the well-wishes. Be assured, I am feeling much better. Many thanks to Dr. Bombay for his excellent care. Now – allow me to tell you of the Rangoon Revenge. As I believe I stated at one point, the Haunted Dolls (led by…
