À propos de l?auteur
GAVIN BADDELEY - A BRIEF BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH 'Baddeley is quickly becoming the patron saint of gothic journalism because of his humorous, sometimes ironic writing style, his thoroughness, and his obvious interest in the dark cultures.' Journal of Pop Culture Gavin Baddeley is an acclaimed UK author and journalist. A childhood preoccupation with all things dark and grotesque blossomed into a career specialising in devilment and decadence, penning countless articles for diverse publications, ranging from Metal Hammer to Medieval History, and the Observer to Knave. His efforts attracted the attention of San Francisco's infamous 'Black Pope' Anton LaVey, who ordained him as an honorary priest in the Church of Satan. Gavin's expertise has made him a popular speaker in a number of arenas, delivering addresses on Satanism to academic institutions as far afield as Cambridge University and the University of Wisconsin. He has also been employed as a consultant and interviewee on all of the major UK TV stations, acting as the occult authority for Channel 4, talking about Satanic conspiracies on the BBC, Goth on MTV, horror films on Channel 5, and ritual crime on Sky News, as well as serving as onscreen expert on demonic music for the acclaimed big screen feature documentary Metal: A Headbanger's Journey. Gavin is also a familiar face on the film festival circuit, with lectures on cursed celluloid upcoming at the Bram Stoker Film Festival, and vampires and disease at the Abertoir Festival in Wales. The author favours locales with 'old bones' for inspiration, and currently lives in the northern English city of York, where it's said the spectral sandals of long-dead Roman centurions still walk its ancient streets. Gavin Baddeley's books include: Lucifer Rising ('A gilt-edged (oc)cult classic.' NME), Goth Chic ('Goth Chic is an essential handbook for aspiring Goths.' Loaded) Dissecting Marilyn Manson ('Informative and thought-provoking, this belongs on your shelf whether you're a fan or not.' Record Collector), God's Assassins * ('really captures the complexity of Hasan's position in history...a different approach to exploring the diverse echoes one small group of people can have down the centuries.' Fortean Times) The Gospel of Filth ('An occult classic.' The Observer) Saucy Jack * ('Written from a hip, informed perspective... thoroughly enjoyable... I will certainly be keen to snare myself copies of future instalments in this compelling series.' Mudkiss) Goth: Vamps and Dandies ('Book of the Month' Bizarre) Vampire Lovers ('Vampire Lovers is a brilliant resource for fans of the undead in TV and film.' Wondrous Reads) * Co-authored with Paul Woods.

Softcover / Paperback. Etat : Fine. First edition. Softcover. 'Scarcely a year goes by without a new book, TV programme or magazine article claiming to have solved the mystery of Jack the Ripper - the perpetrator of at least five brutal prostitute murders that shocked London in the summer and autumn of 1888. The fascination with this squalid episode is partly because Jack the Ripper is widely believed to have been the first serial killer, although the main draw of the case undoubtedly stems from the Ripper never having been positively identified - hence he remains a blood-spattered sillhouette upon which our fantasies have been projected. Although 'Jack' as an entity was almost certainly invented by an unscrupulous journalist, he became an archetype of his time - decked in the top hat and cloak of a Victorian melodrama villain, stalking the fog-wreathed streets of the old East End. But the numerous Ripper theories which emerged from that time tell us more about the prejudices and attituides of the Victorian mind than they do about the killer's true identity.' In this book the authors follow the grim homicidal trails that have permeated popular culture since the Whitechapel murders of 1888, including the stories of the victims, in all their sad and desperate poignancy. The evolution of the Ripper archetype, against the seedy reality of the crimes' Victorian setting. An analysis of the most often cited latter-day suspects for the crimes, and the perennial fascination of 'ripperology'. The conspiracy theories - from black magicians to the British royal family, the short stories, novels, films, comic books and even video games, all inspired by the murders of 1888. And finally, the modern forensic view of the Ripper murders as sex crimes, with reference to disturbing modern cases such as that of the 'Plumstead Ripper'. trade size softcover. Illus. in colour, with Select Bibliog. and Index. 272pp. V.v. lightly browned pp. o/w Nr. F. with no creasing to covers. N° de réf. du vendeur 19082
