The book is strikingly illustrated with black-and-white photographs and is highly readable: Brill has elicited some fascinating material from her interviewees, and her analysis is perceptive and witty. It should provide thought-provoking reading, not only for subcultural scholars, but also for those within the scene itself.

THE

A riveting account of gender and sexual politics in the Goth scene which challenges prevailing assumptions from within and outside the subculture.

Paul Hodkinson, University of Surrey

The focus and accessibility of Brill's text, supported with literature, compelling quotes, photographs, and in-depth descriptions of nightclub scenes, make it a particularly strong course text.
