Book Review: The Art of Gothic

One of my favorite books so far. Such a great read, very informative and would be perfect for guests to check out on your goth coffee table. The intro is fantastic! A lot of cool photos and media that will catch your eye and not leave you bored. I loved the author went into detail about the history of goth and post-punk. So rad! I think a lot of old school goths will enjoy this book and new and younger goths can get a good education from the knowledge this book presents.

Neil Gaiman: The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains

Neil Gaiman is my favorite author of all time as many of you know so I was elated to have the privilege of seeing him again recently. We met up with friends in San Francisco and we watched Neil Gaiman speak and also read his book The Truth is a Cave in the Black Mountains to a string quartet. It was one of the most magical experiences I ever had. So beautiful and perfect in every way. I love the dark beauty to his writing. It literally transports me to a different place. It was wonderful because they had the art work images on a large screen while the music was playing and Neil read. Afterwards we were extremely lucky to have him welcome his illustrator for the book, Eddie Campbell out on stage. It was a pleasant surprise and I was so happy to be there. Truly a magical evening.
