The legendary John Robb presents his comprehensive overview of goth music and subculture. Robb covers the distant origins of the goth phenomenon: the fall of Rome and the Goths, Lord Byron and the Romantic poets, European folk tales, vampires, Gothic architecture and painting, the occult, and spans the spectrum up to today's Instagram and TikTok phenomena.

As a music journalist, Robb draws on a huge pool of original material and, in individual chapters based on interviews, describes in detail the key bands such as The Sisters Of Mercy, Killing Joke, Bauhaus, The Cult, Joy Division, The Cramps, New Model Army, Siouxsie & The Banshees, The Damned, Einstürzende Neubauten, Laibach, The Cure, Theatre Of Hate, Virgin Prunes, Fields Of The Nephilim, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and many others.
