Goth-Icky: A Macabre Menagerie of Morbid Monstrosities by Michael J Nelson
From Jekyll and Hyde to B horror movie icons to the Addams family and beyond, macabre misfits have thrived in the fertile soil of modern-age media and pop culture. What is it about vampires, zombies, skeletons, and other mutants brought to life in the darkest recesses of the imagination? Goth-Icky celebrates modern-day goths, their culture, and the morbid monstrosities that inspire them. Containing over 200 images from the print and advertising archives of the Charles S. Anderson Design Company in combination with a hilarious text by the legendary Michael J. Nelson, this book is an amazingly rich and weird testament to the pervasiveness of goth aesthetics, the appeal of kitsch, and our love of horror.
Michael J. Nelson is an actor, writer, director, and musician who served as head writer for ten seasons, and on-air host for five seasons, of the television series Mystery Science Theater 3000. He was also the coauthor of The Mystery Science Theater 3000 Amazing Colossal Episode Guide. Currently, he writes a regular column in Home Theater Magazine and appears as a regular movie commentator on NPR's "All Things Considered." Nelson lives in Minneapolis with his wife, writer-performer Bridget Jones, and their two children.
