New York, NY, May 04, 2023 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Doktor John’s new book, “Life in the New Dark Age,” is a gripping and informative collection of stories that share with readers his personal journey into the unfamiliar world of the Goth-industrial scene. His exploration begins with close involvement with local goth rock musical groups. This led to his contributing monthly reports on the gothic, punk, and industrial scenes for the rock magazine, The Aquarian, in his column, titled, New Dark Age. He uses this experience to write an honest and intimate look into the Goth subculture.
Published by Newman Springs Publishing, Doktor John’s captivating tale dives deep into the Goth world in New York City as well as national and international expressions of the subculture. “Life in the New Dark Age” transports readers into an eccentric and exciting world that traces his decades-long adventure in the lively world of Goth. Historical, psychological and philosophical insights gained along the way are included.
In the preface Doctor John tells us, “The subject of this book is the Goth-industrial scene centered primarily around New York City from its heyday in 1990 to its COVID-driven pause in 2020…It takes in what the author deems to be the broad historical and cultural milieu that nourished a specific social and aesthetic group of people: the Goths of Greater NYC and the institutions that served them—their roots, their common interests, their shared experience, and their uniqueness as a subculture.”

Author Bernard Grimm’s New Book, “Behind The Badge,” is a Riveting Autobiographical Account That Documents Moments from the Author’s Lengthy Career in Law Enforcement
Bausman, PA, September 10, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Bernard Grimm, who served for many years in the law enforcement field with the Lancaster City PD and Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office, has completed his new book, “Behind The Badge”: a stirring memoir that shares highlights from the author’s astounding career in law enforcement, and how each moment left a lasting impact on him.
With over thirty-nine years with the Lancaster City Bureau of Police and the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office, author Bernard Grimm has seen it all. From high-speed car chases, shootouts, gruesome crime scenes involving murders and physical and sexual child abuse and murder of children and others. Full of short stories—some sad, some comical—“Behind The Badge” takes readers along as the author reminisces on some of the most impactful cases he encountered during his time on the force.
“This book, I can assure you, will be an easy read, and as such, I hope you do not fall asleep while reading it,” writes Grimm. “It will cover my history of twenty-six years with the Lancaster City Bureau of Police, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and over thirteen years of service with the Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office.
“Some of the stories may be harder to handle, due to the nature of the content, but they will all, in effect, show you, the reader, what it is like being a law enforcement officer.
“It will also be a window, for those considering entering law enforcement, into what they may be getting into, and if they can’t handle the material found here, they may not have the fortitude for law enforcement.”
Published by Page Publishing, Bernard Grimm’s engaging series is a candid and emotionally raw look at what law enforcement work can look like in America, and how the author’s life was forever shaped by his dedication and service to his community.
