From the cradle bars to pre-preteen goo goo mucks, Goth Parenting is an illustrated humor book with heart for families who do things a little differently.

Your local mall goths and graveyard lurkers experience the same milestones of parenthood as anyone else. Goths just do it with a little extra style and more Edgar Allan Poe references.

Goth Parenting takes you from a baby bat’s very earliest days through age seven, illustrating parents’ memorable moments, challenges, and rewards along the way. Like figuring out how to child-proof your tomb sweet tomb, what to feed a toddler to make sure they live deliciously, and how to cope if your little monster doesn’t wish every day was Halloween.

Whether your gashlycrumb tiny is a ball of darkness like you or a little ray of sunshine, there’s something here for every alternative parent. Because being a goth parent is about more than just Victorian accessories and black clothing—it’s about acceptance, love, and always being yourself. And also black clothing.

CELEBRATION OF ALL THINGS GOTH: The funny, gentle advice is peppered with instantly recognizable references, from Dracula to Edward Gorey to The Sisters of Mercy.

BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED ALT PARENTING BOOK: Cute and colorful pictures illustrate diverse, loving goth families on every page.

GREAT GIFT: Super-relatable moments make this an ideal present for goths at any stage of their parenting adventures. Wrap in a sheet of skull floral paper for baby shower, birthday, or stocking stuffer gift-giving to moms, dads, or couples.

Perfect for:

Moms, dads, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and caretakers with an offbeat sense of humor
Kids of goth parents looking for a Mother's Day, Father's Day, or birthday present
Gen X mall goths, alternative millennials, and older Gen Zers starting families
Goths, punks, witches, graveyard lurkers, reformed Hot Topic teens, proud emo crybabies, and anyone who admires the goth aesthetic and lifestyle
Fans of My Chemical Romance, The Addams Family, and Netflix’s Wednesday reboot
