Goth Undead Subculture

"Goth creates its distinctive way of life by appropriating materials from a vast array of cultural phenomena-post-punk music, gothic literary tradition, pre-Christian mythology, sexual nonconformity, aesthetic avant-gardes-all of which it adopts primarily as style. Goth style is thus both dizzyingly heterogeneous and instantly recognizable. It is hard to imagine a single book that could do this subculture justice; yet by assembling contributors from a range of disciplines and judiciously including many voices of subcultural participants themselves,Goth: Undead Subculturemanages to depict, while also reflecting critically on, this subculture's enduring appeal. This collection will be the definitive work on its topic."-Tim Dean, author ofBeyond SexualityGoodlad, Lauren M.
