Millennium Gothic: The Nostalgia Project, Vol I

Millennium Gothic is a memoir of dysfunctional teenage youth on the Birmingham goth scene, at the height of the buzzing Y2k era. Woven through the clove smoke, blacklight and chartreuse are tales of self loathing, anorexia, the birth of the ‘pro ana’ scene, innocently reckless Ecstasy experiences, and above all, my first love, Ash, who lived through so much school-yard hell, he came within a hair’s breadth of becoming the first British school shooter, only to be saved at the eleventh hour by the psychic predictions of his soon-to-be-dead father.
