Gavin Baddeley Revised and updated Marilyn Manson is more than a mere musician - he is a rock phenomenon. He has created a phantasmal world of freaks that has proved irresistible to a whole generation of disaffected youth. In Dissecting Marilyn Manson, Baddeley performs a cultural autopsy upon Manson, examining the seminal influences and psychotic sources that have gone into making him the fascinating Frankenstein monster that he is. With its heavily visual approach, the text and pictures help to create the impression of a pathological scrapbook, emphasising the idea of the performer being put under the knife, reflecting the Manson mythos and exploring it in an irreverent manner. Now updated to include The Golden Age Of Grotesque, and Lest We Forget. 208 pages / 70+ photos, 8 colour pages / 230 x 170mm ISBN10 85965 413 3 ISBN13 978 0 85965 413 5 Paperback / UK £14.99 / US $19.95 |
