| Introduction | The Comtesse DeSpair has long existed in sullen silence at the Asylum Eclectica where she stores her vast collection of morbid curios. She has gained infamy for publishing the daily (usually) newsletter Morbid Fact Du Jour. Sullen, withdrawn, ill, and prone to melancholia, she loves inclement weather and despises sunny days. She thinks everything looks better with snow covering it. She also thinks most things look better in black and white. She enjoys capturing images of both the mundane and the morbid, and sharing her results with her morose minions. Check out her Flickr page too! |
