From the Publisher

What you don''t know about goths could fill a book! An artistic culture that revels in the Victorian romantic movement, The goth Bible brings to light the traditions and history of all that is goth. The goth culture has been one of the most controversial and maligned in media history. Presented as homicidal, suicidal and socio-pathic, in the national consciousness goths are coupled with everyone from Marilyn Mason to the murderers of Columbine. But this is not who the goths are. The goth Bible will help bridge the understanding between goths and non-goths. From their historical origins as a Germanic tribe in the sixth century who fought along side the Romans against the Huns to their current incarnation as creatures of the night, The goth Bible presents the most complete and broad perspective of this society, culled from hundreds of interviews with bands, artist, designers, and goths from all walks of life.

This became overwhelmingly boring and drawn on until I could… read more

    The Goth Bible 5

    5 years ago

    I bought this book not too long ago and i read through it. It helps non-goths or even goths understand about the culture. You get awesome websites at the end of each chapter to go and check things out yourself. By the time you're done with this book you'll find out what's true and what's not. This book is good if you're doing research or if you just want to understand some things. This isn't for those who are afraid of goths or small minded or ignorant. read more
