More about being Goth than about the Craft.

2.5 stars (I really wish goodreads did half star ratings!)I really wanted to like this book. I'll just come out off the bat to say that, but I just couldn't get past the fact that it had very little information besides a very brief skimming overview of a select few 'witchy' topics. It had a pretty good chunk dedicated to goths and goth culture that was very interesting to read, but it didn't have enough about the other side that the book is about. It discussed goths in depth, discussed how magic(k) related to goths, but not so much the actual magic(k)al side of it. Definitely read this if you're interested in goth culture with a dash of pagan interests/beliefs, because it is an interesting read, it just didn't go into enough detail for my tastes.

Most everything about it was generally annoying and very kindergoth (read: Hot Topic).

The thing(s) that pissed me off most were the author's definitions/explanations of sex, gender, and orientation.

This book reads like a Wikipedia entry, and by that I mean, it probably has gone through no sort of decent content editing whatsoever.

I'm going to go cut myself now. (No no, that's a GOOD thing!)
