What makes Marilyn Manson tick, and what makes him so compelling? In this provocative book, Gavin Baddeley performs a cultural autopsy on Manson, examining his unusual life and the seminal influences that have made him simultaneously one of the most feared and revered of rockers. In this revised and updated edition, Baddeley explores developments in Manson’s professional and private life, including his recent high-profile court case, marriage to fetish model Dita Von Teese, and creative forays into the worlds of art and film.
