Cultural Traffic, 2025, 76 pages, Includes an A4 Sticker Sheet Insert
A raw, elegant debut book from 20-year-old Louise Bourke—a window into the living, breathing goth subculture of London. Real people. Real scenes. Real shadows.
Born in Acton, raised in chaos, and forged through foster care, Louise focuses her attention and art on the world she knows—goth clubs, tattoo culture, charity shop fashion, photography, late-night rituals, and quiet rebellion. Unfiltered. Unsentimental. Real people in a shadow world.
A dark romance of the present. A story behind the eyeliner.
