About this eBook
In Dissecting Marilyn Manson, author Gavin Baddeley performs a cultural autopsy upon Manson, examining the seminal influences and psychotic sources that have gone into making him the Frankenstein monster that he is today. With its heavily visual approach, the text and pictures create the impression of a pathological scrapbook, emphasising the idea of the performer being put under the knife, exploring the Manson mythos in an irreverent but authoritative manner. Each chapter exposes one gruesome angle after another, gradually revealing just what makes Marilyn Manson tick and why so many find him so compelling. Dissecting Marilyn Manson offers the legion of dedicated Manson fans an alternative look into his macabre and twisted world. This revised and updated edition continues dissecting up to the present day, analysing recent 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.

it starts off with the wiki like knowledge of Manson any fan old , new mild or fanatical has always known. then severely short of subject goes into ridiculous detail about Charles Manson....You might forgot who your reading about . He does this alot to try and weld decades of life but with very little info on Manson except his own pre famous autobiography making himself out to be his persona. If your a true die hard fan you might like it but there's nothing new in here at all and it's like it's binding broke with cheap publishing glue and it's been picked up and the pages landed where they landed. I literally nodded off briefly.

self important dribble and musings, even a super fan would be bored of this writers overly convoluted expression of his various dislikes with the world. Barely anything is to be learn about Marilyn Manson himself from this trash.
