Description

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
