New Darkness Book

With more than 200 photos and 100 original stories penned by Springsteen's legendary fans, "The Light in Darkness" is a look at Springsteen's fourth album, "Darkness on the Edge of Town," from the fan's perspective.With "Darkness on the Edge of Town" Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band took a stand at a time and place where everything was on the line," writes Vike Savoth in the foreword to "The Light in Darkness." "They were prepared to pay the price of hurtling headlong into rock and roll oblivion by walking away from the sound and look that took them to the heights of fame and fortune.
