An essential, fully illustrated guidebook to day-to-day Goth living

There's more to being a Goth than throwing on some black velvet, dyeing your hair, and calling it a day (or a night). How do you dress with morbid flair when going to a job interview? Is there such a thing as growing too old to be a Goth? How do you explain to your grandma that it's not just a phase?

Jillian Venters, a.k.a. "the Lady of the Manners," knows how to be strange and unusual without sacrificing politeness and etiquette. In Gothic Charm School, she offers the quintessential guide to dark decorum for all those who have ever searched for beauty in dark, unexpected places, embraced their individuality, and reveled in decadence . . . and for families and friends who just don't understand.


About the Author
Jillian Venters was a fairly spooky and morbid child. When she discovered the existence of the whole Gothic sub-culture, she clapped her hands with glee and fell upon it like a babybat upon a box of Count Chocula cereal. Since then, the Lady of the Manners has spent a not inconsiderable amount of time trying to gently persuade others in her chosen subculture that being a polite Goth is much, much more subversive than just wearing T-shirts with "edgy" sayings on them. She lives in Seattle.

Synopsis

Welcome to 1830s Bermondsey, London’s most notorious slum, a land of gang wars, freak shows and boxing matches.  Dr. Grant, a disgraced physician, adopts Wynfield, a ten-year old thief savagely battered by the gang leader for insubordination.  The boy grows up to be a slender, idealistic opium addict who worships Victor Hugo.  By day he steals and resells guns from a weapons factory.  By night he amuses filthy crowds with his adolescent girlfriend, a fragile witch with wolfish eyes. Their tragicomic idyll ends when Wynfield falls under the spell of an elusive benefactress and leaves his bohemian, semi-criminal circle to follow her to Westminster.  There, in the company of blue-blooded outcasts, he learns the secret of his origin and the role he is destined to play in the history of England.  Invoking the ghosts of English anarchists, Guy Fawkes and Oliver Cromwell, Wynfield enters the world’s biggest tavern – the Parliament, where he meets the most ruthless boy gang in the world – the British aristocracy.  Using the mixture of chemicals, satire and horror, Wynfield stages an unforgettable performance and subdues the ruling class – if only for one day.

"Sure to be a timeless classic. If you liked The Chronicles of Narnia, you'll love Majesty!"  LeAnn Weiss - Bestselling author of HugsTM series.

When Jack Campbell finds an old silver chest in his closet, it is his first contact with the wizards of the Nohr World and the beginning of a dark deception, as unseen forces seek to ensnare his sister. With a simple traveling spell, Katie Campbell is thrust into the Nohr World, and the child is finally within their grasp—the one who can find the animal of dominion, the horse of power and glory, the white horse of Christ’s return, known as Majesty. But such a handsome prize is not easily gained, and the way to the horse is fraught with peril.

Once the journey begins, the knowledge within Katie grows and becomes clearer, as do the dangers she must face. While the lure of magic draws Jack closer to the wizards, an angel is sent to protect Katie and watch over her. But even with an angel to protect her, and her brother’s life in the balance, can she truly find the white horse, and if so, what is the fate of mankind and the Nohr World?
