Inspired by a Gothic Horror novel written by an early feminist 200 years ago, the Merry Shelley welcomes the darklings, the drears, the weird, the punks, our fellow queers, the nerds, the readers, and the strange. Escape from the modern humdrum into a world of shoegaze, darkwave, doom metal, and everything goth. We believe in science, love, community, exploration, and experimentation. Here we embrace the night. Carpe Noctem!
