Exploring the more stimulating aspects of the world s most macabre manifestations, this book charts the most important, exciting and unusual works, figures and ideas in the different areas that it covers. A must for anyone with a passing interest in Goth, from the novice to the most seasoned veteran of Gothic culture.
