This book had been highly anticipated by me, as well as, many in my friend group. I pre bought the audiobook on Libro.fm months in advance. So far, this year, has been a fantastic year for me reading books related to my favorite kind of music- Goth and Post-Punk. Excellent intro to goth written by someone who actually created it: Lol Tolhurst, drummer for The Cure and one of the two original and remaining members along with Robert Smith. Lol is a humble fellow in an industry where many aren't, and has that very, very twee British sensibility without the cringe, being the affable chap that he is. If you're looking for a definitive guide to goth, this isn't it, and the book should be more fittingly titled "Goth Music", as that's the main focus here. But as an intro to the subculture, it's fantastic.

While it diverts into autobiography a little more than I'd like, those personal memories are usually relevant. In the early nineties, Lol relocated to Southern California where he continues to write, record and tour with his own band, Levinhurst. Lol is lovely. I adored his first book Cured, and still hold it as one of the best music memoirs, up there with Viv Albertine's - Clothes, Clothes, Clothes, Music, Music, Music, Boys, Boys, Boys. His talent in writing comes through in his personal experiences, as well as his vulnerability. My thanks to both NetGalley and the publisher Hachette Books for an advance copy of this history not only of a music genre, but of an encompassing art form that meant to so much to many people, saving souls from sameness, and lives and showing that others felt the same.I do think this could've been edited better, as some of Lol’s thoughts seemed repeated and did not need to be said again in my opinion.

How you play 1v1.lol depends on the game mode. In most cases, you’ll be playing battle royale, so your objective is to eliminate opponents and become the last remaining survivor.

Formed in 1976, The Cure is one of the most influential, successful and critically acclaimed bands of its generation.Full Disclosure: I received an Advanced Reader's Copy of Goth: A History by Lol Tolhurst from Hachette Books via NetGalley. But corruption grows in the Blessed Isle’s capital, where a vengeful warden seeks to ensnare Kalista in his cruel machinations. She will be forced to choose between her loyalty to Viego and doing what she knows is right–for even in the face of utter darkness, one noble act can shine a light that saves the world. “In the tradition of the most memorable Greek tragedies, Anthony Reynolds weaves a propulsive tale of love, loss, war, and duty that recalls the adage, ‘the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for the good to do nothing.’ Those familiar with League of Legends know where this story must leave us, but RUINATION’s power is that—like all good myths—knowing how it ends is just the beginning.” - Evan Winter, author of The Rage of Dragons As Isolde’s condition worsens, Viego descends into madness and grief, threatening to drag Camavor down with him. Kalista makes a desperate gambit to save the kingdom: She searches for the long-lost Blessed Isles, rumored to hold the queen’s salvation if only Kalista can find them.
