The Goth Bible: A Compendium for the Darkly Inclined by Nancy Kilpatrick was recently released from the publisher.
Synopsis:
An artistic culture that revels in the Victorian romantic movement, The Goth Bible examines the traditions and history of all that is gothic. Goth culture has been one of the most maligned and controversial in media history. Often presented as homicidal, suicidal and sociopathic, Goths are associated with everyone from Marilyn Manson to the murderers of Columbine. This book sets out to right these injustices and bridge the understanding between Goths and non-Goths. From their historical origins as a Germanic tribe in the 5th century who fought alongside the Roman Army to their current incarnation as creatures of the night, The Goth Bible presents the most complete and broad perspective of this society to date. With information gathered from hundreds of interviews with bands, artists, designers and Goths from all walks of life this is the definite handbook for a distinctive culture.
My copy came last week and I have already devoured it.
I give it 4 VVVV fangs out of 5.

I've got this one as well. The section on how to dance goth is hillarious. I have seen way too many people sweeping the floor and changing the lightbulb over the years.
