"Based on exclusive interviews and unprecendented access to all three bands' archives, this is the first definitive biography of Coil, Current 93 and Nurse With Wound.

Together, the genre-defying bands and their circles represent the English underground in all its cultural, artistic and sexual variety. Over nearly four decades, the three interwined groups have maintained a symbiotic, yet uneasy, relationship with the mainstream of popular culture, even as their beliefs and practices have repelled them from it.

Theirs is a clandestine scene whose work accents the many occulted peculiarities of Englishness that flow through generations of outsiders, channeling personalities as diverse as Aleister Crowley, MR James, Joe Orton, Björk and Marc Almond. The story of this Hidden Reverse has, necessarily, remained a secret. Until Now."
