Robb’s latest work features interviews with various artists, such as Andrew Eldritch, Killing Joke, and Trent Reznor, and explores the music, style, and social conditions that gave rise to the culture. The book is also a first-hand account of legendary gigs and clubs that contributed to the scene’s development. Pre-order now for a signed copy of this definitive deep-dive into goth culture.
