Since we cannot seem to keep the Haute Macabre by Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab in stock, we’re now accepting pre-orders for the next batch! Shipping early June, you can reserve your bottle right now.

We’re also giving away a bottle on Instagram! Check out Sam’s IG feed for details – @samsmith

An original blend from Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, exclusively for Haute Macabre, this scent is a mixture of oak leaf, bourbon vanilla, almond husk, black leather accord, darkened by a 13-year aged black patchouli.

Some of the reviews we’ve been receiving ::

“Haute Macabre is a black scent, though it’s soft and welcoming” – Pretty Sniffies

“It smells like marzipan in a dusty library, amongst other slightly witchy things. I wear it ALL of the time!” – Facebook user

“Just the right mix of dark, naughty, earthy, and sweet” – BPAL Forums

The latest from The Midnight Archive’s superb series showcases the extensive anatomical collection of Ryan Matthew Cohn. If you haven’t already, take the time this weekend to go through the past episodes. You won’t be disappointed.

Portlander Angela Thornton is the woman behind each piece created for M O R P H Knitwear. Finding more women influenced by the macabre and creating beautiful objects and wares with that in mind is one of my favorite parts about contributing to Haute Macabre, and M O R P H does just that. Using locally sourced materials, her knit and jewelry pieces are all small runs, and her latest collection, Siren Call, makes me wish the cold weather had held out for a little bit longer.

Aayla of My Painted Bird posted a fantastic interview with Angela a few weeks ago about her motivation and style.

You can purchase M O R P H Knitwear through the Etsy shop, or find her on FaceBook or Instagram.

This is pretty much the best idea for a gallery show ever. Two of our favorite blogs, Street Anatomy and Skull-a-Day, have teamed up with the International Museum of Surgical Science to celebrate Skull Appreciation Day with lots and lots of art. Now that’s a party.
