Dov DavidoffI love the gothic literature. It always has such great stories with characters bigger than life and the stakes are always high. And because there's always a wolf at the door, the emotions are high; the romance, the sexuality, friendships, and relationships.

And that's where the music comes from.

A rabid dog cannot choose but bite.
