This was quite good overall, and it filled a few gaps in my knowledge about gothic architecture and art etc., but I would have liked it to have been a little more filled out. It had a ton of information about the history of gothic and where the subculture started and where its roots are, but it just felt as though something was missing. I'm not entirely sure what though, and it might just be that I knew quite a bit already, and was expecting more. I also would have been happier if there had been some kind of afterward of sorts - it just ends so abruptly with no closing thoughts. Otherwise a great, fun read!
