Want to read: Season of the Witch: The Book of Goth by Cathi Unsworth 📚

Season of the Witch book cover, featuring Siouxsie Sioux with a slightly jumbled up face

I listened to this podcast in which the author spoke to Mark Ellen and David Hepworth, and the book sounds interesting

The book combines a history of goth with personal memoir, and stuff about the 1980s generally. Unsworth says there was a good queen, Siouxsie Sioux, and a bad queen, Margaret Thatcher

I never saw Goth as being that political tbh, but I’ll be interested to read about it in more detail

Also, Unsworth nominates the Sisters of Mercy single with Alice on one side, and Floorshow on the other as being the Greatest Ever Goth Record….which is, as far as I am concerned, the correct answer 😃
