Review

"Why won''t Goth die? In Contemporary Gothic, Catherine Spooner performs a critical vivisection of the Goth subculture aesthetic to isolate the reasons why it eternally resurfaces in marginal and mainstream contemporary culture. Cutting through the subculture''s conventions and clichés, Spooner examines Goth''s roots in the gothic literary tradition while deftly deconstructing some of the more visible examples of Gothic pervasiveness. . . . Spooner also eloquently demonstrates that even commercially marketed and consumed Goth culture provides a vital intelligent, critical counterpoint to the pop, sparkle and giggle of mass popular culture."—Art Review   (Art Review 20070106)

"Interesting and accessible."--Glasgow Herald   (Alastair Mabbott Glasgow Herald 20070615)

"Refreshingly free of the kind of heavy theoretical jargon that would make even the palest goth blanch in dismay."—Chronicle of Higher Education  (Mikita Brottman The Chronicle Review )
