Goth Parenting: The Dark Joys of Raising Baby Bats

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.
