Breaking The Law: Cory Doctorow, Deric Lostutter, and ‘Little Brother’ [ARTICLE]
If you don’t know Cory Doctorow’s name, don’t feel bad. I didn’t a month ago, either. That was, until I read, “Ready Player One,” for our review here at DGM. In the dystopian novel, the author mentions TWO freedom fighters that are still fighting the good fight for users rights in the future: Wil Wheaton and Cory Doctorow. I’m hugely familiar with Wheaton and respect his opinions enough that I’ve tried out a number of games based on his…

The Goth Detective [ARTICLE]
When you list off great Goth literary characters in both book and film, it’s easy to focus on the usual Gothic who’s who: Anne Rice’s LeStat (of The Vampire Chronicles), the Wachowski’s Neo (of The Matrix), Mary Shelley’s Doctor Frankenstein (of Frankenstein), Tim Burton’s Jack Skellington (of The Nightmare Before Christmas), or almost any protagonist of Edgar Allen Poe. However, there is another literary character that easily deserves to join the Gothic pantheon: Agent Aloysius Pendergast.

The Lighter Side of Edgar Allen Poe [ARTICLE]
When many people think of Edgar Allen Poe, they think of a brilliant but depressing poet that would likely burst into flames if he was forced to write something that wasn’t dark or creepy. His most famous works, such as “The Ravenâ€, “The Fall of the House of Usherâ€, and “the Pit and the Pendulum†all seem to point to this conclusion. However, what people don’t know about him is that some of his lesser known works are lighter and even comical.

The Graveyard Poets [ARTICLE]
In this article, we will look at the Graveyard Poets and their connection to the Gothic Movement. The Graveyard Poets, known as the founders of the Graveyard School, were a group of poets from the mid to late 18th century. They were neoclassical in style, and it is said that they paved the way for the Gothic and Romanticism movements. As their group name suggests, they enjoyed writing while in cemeteries, and their works portrayed that. Their themes were often concerned with death, gloom, religion, and mortality.
