Combining solid research into NIN's roots with compelling, emotional oral histories from fans, a fascinating account of a huge subculture.
Daphne Carr is a Manhattan-based writer. She is the series editor of Best Music Writing and an editor at Current Musicology. Her music writing has appeared in numerous anthologies and publications including Out of the Vinyl Deeps, Listen Again: A Momentary History of Pop, the Village Voice, MOJO, The Nation, Stop Smiling, and Venus Zine.

Carr's take on Pretty Hate Machine as an accessible piece of art is
fortified by her ability to include everyone — fans, critics, NIN
virgins — into her dialogue. Here, PHM is transformed from an album
for outcasts into a work that applies more generally to mass
culture.
