An artistic culture that revels in the Victorian romantic movement,'THE GOTH BIBLE' brings to light the traditions and history of all that is goth.The goth culture has been one of the most controversial and maligned in media history.Presented as homicidal,suicidal and socio-pathic,in the national consciousness goths are coupled with everyone from Marilyn Mason to the murderers of Columbine.                      But this is not who the goths are. 'THE GOTH BIBLE' will help bridge the understanding between goths and non-goths. From their historical origins as a Germanic tribe in the sixth century who fought along side the Romans against the Huns to their current incarnation as creatures of the night,'THE GOTH BIBLE' presents the most complete and broad perspective of this society,culled from hundreds of interviews with bands,artist,designers,and goths from all walks of life.                    Please contact the seller,particularly ALL overseas buyers,for correct [insured,or uninsured at own risk] shipping/P+p quotes BEFORE placing your order,especially if ordering any multiples.
