Goth: Vamps and Dandies

I've just bought and read this new book on Goth by Gavin Baddeley. I've been a bit overcritical about his work in the past, largely through congratulating myself too much for being clever. I'm glad, however, to say that this book is really good. Anyone who ventures to trace the story of such a fissiparous, centrifugal and slippery thing as modern Goth is embarking on a fool's errand - and yet Gavin Baddeley makes it work. I've put a longer review on Amazon.
