"Before Dolls Kill, before Marilyn Manson, and before "Bela Lugosi's Dead", what was โ€œgothโ€? What made something gothic? When I think about goth, I think about part of humanityโ€™s natural inclination to revel in the morose; a need to understand the suffering life deals us. The word itself also once implied the barbaric and crude. The goal of this book is to create a colorful, bitesize timeline of what goth has meant over the course of its existence, attempting to highlight the places where gothic inspiration is hidden and linger, especially within the history of African-American life and culture. My word is not law, but I hope it can spark some constructive and enlightening dialog."

About me:


Goth "Historian". Retired, mid author, artist, & half-baked cultural critic.


โ€œโ€ฆI take the gothic back to times of enslavement in the United States; so much about our culture and the way we operate as a country has been born from it, from plantation ghost tours, to lynching postcards, to body cam footage. To me, it's more than a t-shirt slogan, social media visibility, or a hashtag. It's about connecting the past to the present, and realizing we've always fit into the narrative.โ€
