"Dark Entries", issue 2.5 from the Nothing To Be Done stable, is a small but perfectly formed zine celebrating goth music and culture. Named after a Bauhaus song, arguably the best goth band ever, it explores the scene's origins, its fashions (well, various shades of black), key songs and bands, including, naturally, Bauhaus and Siouxsie & The Banshees. There is also an interview with the lead singer of the band Vision Video and a look at the issues facing LGBTQ fans within the scene, which, historically, has always been a very inclusive one. 

The zine is short, but creator Molly's love for the genre shines through and there is a pleasing DIY ethic to its production. The pages are either typed or in places handwritten, then photocopied and stapled together, making every issue unique - so much so that I appear to have a collector's item, "Dark Entrie"!  The zine is written lucidly and intelligently throughout, and I hope Molly continues in the goth genre for future zines. [Another zine is also available from Nothing To Be Done, issue 2, which covers indie and punk music].
