GOTHIC ROCK By MICK MERCER

“This was my second book on Goth, out of print since the early 90’s. Once again I have increased the size from the original 196 pages to 400 pages, with 200 images and 444 photos, the majority previously unpublished. The original text remains the same, but with extra explanatory intro and outro details. It’s something of an epic, highlighting both big and small bands, incorporating many contributions from actual Goths about what the music and lifestyle means to them, and includes large interviews with Jonny from Specimen and Jake who ran Artificial Life fanzine to give an overview of the scene through the eyes of people working within it. The insider view, basically, but on a grand scale.”
