Year: 1984
Albums: Pornography, The Cure
Hyaena, Siouxsie and the Banshees
Completing week 2, we hear how dreams of freedom grow from the dark visions of the Banshees' Hyaena album; its similarities to David Lynch's excavation of the wild urges and violent drives beneath the surface of suburban life are drawn out. Our young gothteens start dressing in line with the styles and ideas they see in the burgeoning alternative culture.

Waking Up to Goth - in Week 2, we find our alternative heroes turning on to goth and alternative music and culture in a big way. Though still young, the seeds of creativity and freedom are beginning to sprout. From the dark earth laid down by The Cure and Siouxsie and the Banshees, Simon and Nicky start to dream, still sitting behind school desks, of wider, stranger horizons...

Head Over Heels, Cocteau Twins
We join our brave young alternatives for the conclusion of their debut week. We've seen them narrowly escape injury at the disco at the end of the pier, and we've heard Nicky's paean to the inspirations of Breaking Glass, now check out Simon's exploration of what made Cocteau Twins so important to his life as a 14-year-old becalmed in the doldrums of the everyday world in small-town suburbia, England, in the early 1980s.

Part 1 of 2.
Year: 1983
Albums: Breaking Glass, Hazel O'Connor; Head Over Heels, Cocteau Twins
Week 1 introduces our alternative heroes. At the tender age of 14, they meet as one is escorted out of the disco at the end of the ramshackle seaside pier, after being threatened, as the other is on his way in, with two hungry-for-action sociapaths riding shotgun. After meeting, Nicky and Simon find they share a love of alternative music and culture, and take their first steps into a darker world of creativity, fascination and doom.
Episodes will be posted in 2 parts.

While hundreds of urban legends surround Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Kentucky, there is also plenty of documented history. Some of the rumours may hold a grain of truth to them. In this episode, we shine a light on the history of Waverly Hills, a grim history tied to the disease tuberculosis.

When’s the last time you saw the sun? How long have you been living in fear of the outside world? Do you need to cover your face and hands if you do go out in public? The concepts of being a creature of the dark and living in quarantine have a lot in common, so it’s no surprise that there’s a lot of music out there that’s become very appropriate for our stay-at-home world. In this chapter, Ed and Justin share some songs from KMFDM, Gary Numan, and others, that remind us that we’re not alone in being alone.
The Arcane Machine is a monthly show with supplemental content on Facebook, Twitter, and Discord throughout each month. If you like what you hear, please visit the artists’ pages linked below and buy some music!

Is it a vampire movie, or a movie about an unkillable ancient cannibal who consumes blood to take the edge off of his hunger for human flesh?
Whatever your thoughts on whether or not He Never Died is a vampire movie, it IS a story that delves into concepts such as ennui and depression, the challenges of sobriety, and gnawing questions about the existence of god that invite the inevitable questions about good and evil and the possibility for redemption, which means that this bleak, bloody, nihilistic film is exactly the kind of vampire story Rose Sinister likes to sink her teeth into, this time with an extra helping of Biblical exegesis with help from my friend and fellow vampire nerd, Rabbi Uriarte.
That’s right. I consulted a Rabbi on this episode for you, dear readers. All errors in pronunciation and interpretation are entirely my own, however.
This was a fun episode to make, and while it’s been delated by travel, Mardi Gras, and my own bout with Covid-19, it’s here at last, and a lot more content on the way, since what better time than quarantine and lockdown than to work on new content to be published from here on out?
The delay in publishing this episode has also allowed me to hammer out details with this podcast’s new sponsor, EndlessNight.com : welcoming the vampire world by keeping Endless Night culture alive
The transcript for this episode has already been shared with my Patreon Patrons, and will be available on my website, rosesinister.com, in about a week or so. If you’d like first dibs on my episode transcripts, or access to other fun, exclusive features, consider supporting me on Patreon, patreon.com/rosesinister.
Support from my patrons and sponsors help make this podcast possible. Thank you for listening and sharing.
This episode we are exploring the twisted world of Gothic Literature to understand why it’s so culturally relevant to goths and non-goths alike.
Our guests for this episode are Adrienne who’s YouTube which covers Gothic topics you can find here, and our resident Queen of Goth Michelle.

The Doppelgänger, or supernatural double, has been featured in almost every modern media genre, from romance to science fiction. However, the roots of this folkloric creature are ancient, and the concept of the double and what it represents has been the subject of deep professional curiosity since the 19th century.
