SUMMARY- If you have a dark/mordant sense of humor and enjoy a goth vibe, this book is tailored for you. There's a ton of fun and quirky projects for a wide spectrum of crafters. It has clever and fun to spare. I was really delighted to run across this book. There are all sorts of interesting asides throughout - and recipes that sound yummy - and jokes, lots and lots and lots of jokes.

They have a website where further projects get published:
