Books by Susan Compo

Life After Death is a deep dive into the subcultures of Los Angeles and London in the 1980s as glam turned to punk and goth. Susan Compo captures the lives of aspiring musicians, scenesters, and obsessive fans-lives in which reality is a constant threat to cherished illusions, and death, while never far away, is sometimes not the end of the story.

A revealing exploration of The Man Who Fell To Earth, Nicolas Roeg s classic 1976 film starring David Bowie as an alien who comes to our planet in search of water.
