Great goth merchandise, but everything smells like smoke.. This store has some real nice things, but the whole place smells like cigarette smoke. I don't smoke and would be hesitant to buy something that reeked of smoke.

Got Goth?. You gotta hand it to Lakewood, Ohio, the last city on earth where "gothic" or "punk" hairstyles, sh**ty piercings and an "industrial" sound/lifestyle are still frightening to parents. No matter. You like the look? This is the place to go for it. Also check out sister-of-mercy-in-style "The Mission" for the same sort of individuality.

Welcome to the Terrordome.. The Scene
Is there one thing about Chain Link Addiction that will surprise anyone with an understanding of Lakewood's burgeoning gothic scene? Aside from the lack of anybody actually being tortured on the premises, no. Walk into the cramped sweatbox of a boutique and you are struck at once by the overpowering smells of vinyl and leather. Listen as the mix tape morphs from Jane's Addiction to Bauhaus to the Sisters of Mercy. Marvel at how shiny reflective clothing is even in semi-darkness. Are you in love yet? If not, stop reading; if so, you're probably already a regular.

The Merchandise
Everything you're expecting. Horror movie t-shirts. Corsets. Rings for ... um ... well, if there's a hole you've got that needs a ring, Chain Link's got your number. Basically, every article of "clothing" you need to look just like the Gimp in "Pulp Fiction." Plus, bumper stickers! You can't go wrong.
