GOTHIC ROCK BLACK BOOK By MICK MERCER

“The first book ever published about Goth, written in 1988, but out of print for nearly two decades. For the 21st anniversary I have increased it from its original 96 pages to 268, including 311 photos from my archive, the majority previously unpublished. Seven chapters: All About Eve, The Cult, Fields Of The Nephilim, The Sisters Of Mercy and The Mission, plus two looking at the start of Goth, and the smaller 80’s bands. Photos include: Adam & The Ants, Alien Sex Fiend, Marc Almond, Attrition, Ausgang, Batcave, Bauhaus, Bone Orchard, Christian Death, Cocteau Twins, The Cramps, Cravats, Creaming Jesus, Dancing Did, Danielle Dax, Danse Society, David J, Death Cult, Fields Of The Nephilim, Flesh For Lulu, Furyo, Gunclub, Junior Manson Slags, Look Back In Anger, Martian Dance, Militia, The Mission, 1919, Pleasure & The Beast, Sex Gang, Sexbeat, Siiiii, Siouxsie & The Banshees, Skeletal Family, Specimen, Toyah, UK Decay, Ultravox!, Very Things, Virgin Prunes, Xmal Deutschland, Zero Le Creche.”
