Dear Listeners,
I thought it would be fun to read a short Gothic poem so here it is..."The Ghost" by Charles Baudelaire. Depending on interest, I may continue this little series and share my reading of a short Gothic poem everyday! Also check out my Youtube channel where I post this as a short on the "Gothic Topic Podcast."

Dear Listeners, It brings me great pleasure to release a brand new episode of Dark Paradise Retrospection after such a lengthy absence and this one was a long time in the making!

There will also be a couple of special re-enactments with a few voices I'm sure you'll recognize!

As a fan of the series, "The Musnters," I just had to pick this up - especially since I'm a fan of Fred Gwynne. This is just a quick "show n tell" of an item I know I'm going to cherish.
I wanted to start sharing some of what I would consider my gothic collection, Here are a couple of books about or inspired by Dark Shadows plus all three Strange Paradise books.
Episode One of my new podcast series over on Youtube called, "The Gothic Topic Podcast." Every Friday, I will be sharing either a poem, a tale, or something from Dark Paradise (my series involving Dark Shadows and Strange Paradise).
Check out "The Gothic Topic Podcast" over on Youtube for more content on all things gothic including my Dark Paradise series which explores Dark Shadows and Strange Paradise!
