Explore the Whitechapel Paranormal Society Series

Five seemingly ordinary women with minor psychic gifts and an exceptional ability to solve supernatural crimes, skills honed during their service with the Special Paranormal Research Branch a secret agency tasked with protecting Queen and country from inhuman forces, must now use their singular expertise to unravel a dreadful string of brutal murders.

Much maligned by their male counterparts within the S.P.R.B., the women of the Whitechapel Paranormal Society are on their own to face a sinister dark mastermind as dismembered bodies are set across London’s East End like figures on a game board.

Can they predict the killer’s next move—a bloody, ritualistic murder that might tip the scales and give demons dominion over all of London—before he strikes again?

Set against the backdrop of pre and post-Ripper Victorian London, Whitechapel Paranormal Society series answers the question of how cases such as the Thames Torso Murders, Craven Street Bones, Tottenham Court Road Mystery, Whitechapel Murders, Goswell Road Mystery, and the Vanishing Girls of West Ham might have been solved if put in the capable hands of a team of female special agents.

CRAVEN STREET, a Whitechapel Paranormal Society prequel, releases June 25th. 🔪♟💀

Death Becomes Her: Victorian Mourning Fashion at the Met

I was in New York City earlier this week, and the Death Becomes Her: A Century of Mourning Attire exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art was one of the highlights of my trip.

Death Becomes Her

This exhibit was absolutely gorgeous.  The dresses were stunning, and the history of mourning fashion fascinating.

I absolutely adored the Death Becomes Her exhibit at The Met.

If you have an interest in fashion, 19th century social mores (with an emphasis on the strict fashion guidelines for Victorian women), and/or the Goth aesthetic, you will love Death Becomes Her.

Now if only I had each of these dresses in my wardrobe...

This is truly an amazing exhibit, and I highly recommend a visit.  These dresses are even more beautiful in real life.

 There are so many exquisite details in these dresses. 

I need this dress.  NEED.

What do you think of the Death Becomes Her exhibit?

From the Metropolitan Museum of Art website:

Death Becomes Her: A Century of Mourning Attire, The Costume Institute’s first fall exhibition in seven years, is on view in The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Anna Wintour Costume Center from October 21, 2014, through February 1, 2015. The exhibition explores the aesthetic development and cultural implications of mourning fashions of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Approximately 30 ensembles, many of which are being exhibited for the first time, reveal the impact of high-fashion standards on the sartorial dictates of bereavement rituals as they evolved over a century.

Death Becomes Her is a temporary exhibit, so you'll need to schedule your visit to the museum by February 1, 2015.
