As I promise I would like to talk about books. I´ve found this remarkable reading which has been one of my guidance to work on my dissertation. So please check this material if u wish to know more about Gothic Subculture and so on...
n a wide ranging series of introductory essays written by some of the leading figures in the field, this essential guide explores the world of Gothic in all its myriad forms throughout the mid-eighteenth Century to the internet age.
The Routledge Companion to Gothic includes discussion on:
