I am Jack's misanthropic stare!

About Me

Greetings, you’ve found my networking hub for my current magazine and fanzine writing projects. My Nome de Plume is Doctor Raven and I’m a struggling writer for Goth and Industrial Magazines and an explorer and supporter of the Goth Community et al. Currently I'm working on an adventure in Zine and Magazine writing and attempting to network with bands across the country to promote the community that has allowed me a place to call home. Here is where you will find updates of my current projects along with the somewhat coherent thoughts that I have posted on this wonderful tool. This “My Space”… It is my goal to interview and network with bands and promoters within all the branches of Goth, Industrial, EBM, Darkwave, Electro, and Synth music and further the Goth and Underground community. If you have a Band CD for me to review or a Publication looking for submissions, please drop me a line and God bless the Children of the Damned. Dza Devlesa.Get Your Own Voice Player Manage
