“Shimmering Darkness” seeks to give a wide view into this sub-and counter-culture movement. Its developments and motives, as well as key ideas and contradictions are all examined in this extensive book. Some 600 illustrations (photos, artwork, album covers) impart a fascinating visual impression of the opulence with which the often elaborately ornamented and costumed scene presents itself. International artists, journalists, academics, DJs and promoters, as well as scene members themselves give their views over more than 400 pages. An expanded version is now being prepared which will include new material dealing with the British context in which Gothic, industrial and related genres first appeared. New interviews, texts and illustrations will be included to enhance the book further making it the key reference work on the subject. The multi-perspective approach reveals the inner turmoil of a subculture which could be the most enigmatic and hidden “youth” culture of today.
