## Resource

Writer and music journalist Cathi Unsworth’s compilation for Ace records, Dressed in Black: Goth Divas From the Dark Side 1941-2025, shines a light on the women who laid the sonic and cultural foundations for Goth. The album is a dark joy and an excellent companion to Cathi’s 2023 book, Season of the Witch: The Book of Goth. And the perfect excuse for our Mick to get Cathi on the Zoom to chat what is Goth, why is Goth, and why it being the worst of times means there’s never been a better time to get your Goth on.   As ever, our £5 plus Patreons get an extra chunk of interview, so for Cramps love, more diva chat and how music soundtracks Cathi’s book, get involved here.  Learn more about your ad choices.
