Edition: Hardcover Product Details Hardcover: 96 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 0.42 x 7.52 x 4.96 Simply put, a Goth is “a fan of gothic music” (a rock-and-roll subgenre that emerged out of the late-1970s punk scene). In general, Goths wear lots of black clothing, favor pale skin and sport black lipstick. Theyre drawn to the darker aspects of human existence: death, romance, feelings of loneliness and isolation. Sounds like a fun bunch, huh? Voltaire, author of the comic book series Oh My Goth!, actually makes it seem so with this handy guide to Goth culture. Similar in layout to The Preppy Handbook and last years The Hipster Handbook, the book matter-of-factly dissects a subculture, with copious photos and descriptions of various types. Theres the Sad-Sack Drac, a combination of 19th-century nobleman and vampire; the “Oh Crap, I Forgot to Wear Clothing” look, which entails looking like a cheap French hooker; and many others. Voltaires humorous approach will lift the lid on Goth mystique for many. As he puts it, “Theyre basically just melancholy…. The truth is that very few Goths actually kill themselvestheyd much rather contemplate suicide and then just write a really bad poem about it.” Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. About the Author Voltaire is a prominent and prolific author and artist of alternative culture. He is the author and artist of the Chi-Chian and Oh My Goth! comic book series. He lives in New York. Book Description What Is Goth? is a humorous, self-deprecating look at Goth culture from the inside out. Imagine The Preppy Handbook colliding with Charles Addams. Then add a lot more melancholy and a lot more spooky. What Is Goth? dispels the false stereotypes and reinforces the true ones surrounding Goths and Goth culture. “To the mundane,” Voltaire writes, “Goths are weird, black-clad freaks who are obsessed with death; they are sad all of the time. Take a closer look at the Goth

Goth Culture” explores Goths‘ expressive practices of dress, fashion, style and the body, in relation to issues of identity and representation. The book shares vivid accounts of the author’s experiences exploring gender and sexuality and doing fieldwork in the Gothic subculture. Through the voices of Goths from the UK, US and Germany, it draws the reader into the gender-bending and heavily gendered world of Goth. It reassesses the significance of the dress of both male and female Goths, examining these striking and often highly creative subcultural fashion displays. Using a wide range of methods and sources, from ethnography to critical examination of music, literature, social theory and different types of popular media, “Goth Culture” offers an original and accessible analysis of the fashion, media and counterculture of the Gothic world.
