Goth's Dark Empire
Author: Carol Siegel
Publisher: Indiana University Press
ISBN: 0253111560
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
In Goth's Dark Empire cultural historian Carol Siegel provides a fascinating look at Goth, a subculture among Western youth. It came to prominence with punk performers such as Marilyn Manson and was made infamous when it was linked (erroneously) to the Columbine High School murders. While the fortunes of Goth culture form a portion of this book's story, Carol Siegel is more interested in pursuing Goth as a means of resisting regimes of sexual normalcy, especially in its celebration of sadomasochism (S/M). The world of Goth can appear wide-ranging: from films such as Edward Scissorhands and The Crow to popular fiction such as Anne Rice's "vampire" novels to rock bands such as Nine Inch Nails. But for Siegel, Goth appears as a mode of being sexually undead -- and loving it. What was Goth and what happened to it? In this book, Siegel tracks Goth down, reveals the sources of its darkness, and shows that Goth as a response to the modern world has not disappeared but only escaped underground.

381 AD: The Gothic War draws to a brutal climax, and the victor's name will be written in blood... The great struggle between the Eastern Roman Empire and the Gothic Horde rumbles into its fifth year. It seems that there can be no end to the conflict, for although the Goths are masters of the land, they cannot topple the last of the imperial cities. But heralds bring news that might change it all: Emperor Gratian readies to lead his Western legions into the fray, to turn matters on their head, to crush the horde and save the East! The men of the XI Claudia legion long for their homeland’s salvation, but Tribunus Pavo knows these hopes drip with danger. For he and his soldiers are Gratian’s quarry as much as any Goth. The road ahead will be fraught with broken oaths, enemy blades... and tides of blood.

The Alban War
Author: John Van Kirk
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0557048451
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 432
Book Description
The year Auctumnust 498-99 was one of horrific strife and evil destiny for the Aconian Empire. It was the year of epochal, disastrous decision and madness in which the farthest march of a vital, militant and excellent leadership committed the state beyond its capacity to recover. Not only was the advance of empire halted after 133 years of organization, conquest and expansion but also subsequent years of decline, desperate fighting, sundered alliances and collapse were set by the events of a terrible single year. It was a year in which the reasoned and pragmatic gamble of war to dominate the central Middle Sea and its continental Alban power as a prelude to world conquest failed. Never did infernal deception so order the destiny of empire and ruin the best of plans made by superior men, possessed of superior weapons, strength and experience.
