fter a decade of work, countless interviews and a deep dive into the enduring culture that is the art of darkness, broadcaster, musician and author John Robb has published the first full biography of the goth scene.

From Byron to Bauhaus, from the fall of Rome to the emergence of TikTok, the darkest of countercultures has a heck of a story to tell.

John sat down with all the alternative anti-heroes you can imagine to produce his newest book: Andrew Eldritch, Killing Joke, Bauhaus, The Cult, The Banshees, The Damned, Einsturzende Neubauten, Danielle Dax, Johnny Marr, Trent Reznor, Adam Ant, Laibach, The Cure, Nick Cave and many others.

Come and hear John discuss the scene in his own stylish way at this intimate event. There’ll be a Q&A, some music, and a goth-flavoured pop-up AAA record stall to entertain you. And John will be happy to sign your books.
