Born out of frustration with being seated in the back of a restaurant because we looked too “Goth” (aka “weird”) – we decided to share Goth-friendly locations and events in Chicago and eventually worldwide online. The scene has grown – Goth is in the malls, Cosplay is all the rage and the world is a little smaller (and more wonderful) due to social media. To celebrate 20 years of spooky stuff for spooky people, this 46 page, full colour book shares highlights from 1996-2016.

Since 1923 the story of Sarah Winchester and her incredibly peculiar house has fascinated more than 12 million people from around the world who have toured its lonely hallways, dark passages and ornate rooms.Come and be intrigued by this truly American tale with its combination of the beautiful and the bizarre, its narrative of heartbreak, tenacity and invention and its flourishes of the paranormal and spirits.It is believed that after the death of her husband and daughter, Mrs. Winchester was convinced by a medium that continuous building would appease the evil spirits of those killed by the Winchester rifle, and help her attain eternal life.
Working Class Punx was started from a desire to create quality handmade utilitarian bags and wallets with Punk attitude. My items are original and not mass produced. This means individual attention and high quality professional standards for each piece, everything is well made and sturdy. You will never receive a crappy item from Working Class Punx. I have been sewing and reconstructing clothes and accessories for over 25 years, and started selling to the world in 2010 with my misfit sidekick Dane (The Captain). The WCP Army has been taking over the world ever since!
I have been a florist for over 30 years. I have also been a part of the Goth subculture since the early 1980’s, so I have combined my skills as a florist & my love of all things dark & unusual to create unique and beautiful bespoke wedding flowers and hair accessories. I know how daunting it can be for a Goth Bride-to-be to walk into a traditional florist shop & ask for a black wedding bouquet with bats in it! I embrace the weird & wonderful, so if you want black flowers, bats, skulls, blood drips – or anything else added to the flowers, then you shall have them!! I create wedding flowers in all styles, shapes & sizes and I can cater for all budgets too so please do not be afraid to ask! I am from the UK, but now based in Australia. I can ship World-wide however.
