You're just in time for the evening meal. Yes, I guess we do dine
rather late.... my apologies. My guests are what you might call
"night people". Shall we find a room for you? No? You hadn't
planned on staying? If you've enjoyed your evening, please
tell your friends... We love visitors.
 
 
 

Leaving? Please take a moment
to let me you how you enjoyed your visit.

Or share your views or creativity with the other visitors...

You may or may not (depending on Guestworld's mood) access the
old guestbook here. I'll try to get it all transcribed one day soon.

Mortals have managed to get out of here alive.

Purgatory--- One of the permanent guests in my home is Ronin. You may have already read some of his poetry here. This is his newly developing site. Purgatory offers insight into his passions and his torment. Features his cynical humor, his writings, and galleries dedicated to the appreciation of the feminine form.

Scray's Sepulcher of Darkness... This is the domain of Lord Sathien. You may have read this poetry
and short story while you were here. His site entertains you with stories of his adventures and his tribulations. His writings are displayed in both his poetry and his journals.

...mute murmurings... Enjoy the creativity of our good friend Ev'lynn (though she be mortal, she's a lovely soul).

Wee Bird's Garden of Astrological and Earthly Delights ...Visit this soft spoken lady for an idea of what your future holds.

Brian Livingston's Cool Text. Com : This site is going to be extremely helpful to the budding new web designer who doesn't have a fancy graphics program. You can make text headers, banners, buttons, or bullets online, then download or transload them for your own use. I made the text graphics for the Study and it's subsequent pages on Brian's site. I also got the matching background there.

Backgrounds by Whyte Myst : Many beautiful backgrounds to be found here such as the one that I used on DarkFlow's poetry page and also the one in the Guestbook.

Designs by Cinnabar : This is where I got the background set for "The Writings of Stephan" and the background for "Boulevard of Broken Dreams". The lavender divider in "Isobelle's Triumph" is a variation of the bar on Stephan's page.

like the one that looks like a silk scarf that I used in my private chamber.

Dark Graphics Dungeon : I didn't actually take anything from this sight, but numerous clip art pieces that I have used from unknown sources such as the lightning used on Ronin's page, the animated bat, the chain divider, the demon header, and the purple sparkling stars are featured here so I thought that it deserved an honorable mention.

Will's Gothic Void : In addition to his personal interests, Will has a background and clipart section where I found the background for the "Long Ago and Far Away.." galleries. Also, the barbed wire bar used on Reece's page, the blood bar and the torch in "The Fright Gallery", the rotating skulls and assorted spiders.

The Brunching Shuttlecocks : This is the site which provides the ongoing service of "Gothic Quote of the Day" which is featured in the Study. Their gothic quote generator is only one of the entertaining aspects which they have to offer.
