Very short (about 50 pages) but I love anything by Jennifer Wright. This is a concise overview of deadly fashion trends with each entry accompanied by one of these amazing Gashlycrumb Tinies-esque illustrations and couplets. Great gift for your macabre friends!

What a fun book, it‘s a light read about all the deadly things that can happen in the name of fashion from flammable clothes to unintentionally scary hats.

What an amazing set of gifts from @MidnightBookGirl all the books are amazing, the personalized coffees mug is so wonderful, the oven mitt is the best and I love the smell of the coffee. My son has already stolen the pirate book marks. Thanks @JenlovesJT47 for organizing! #itcs

This is a charming little book of horrific clothing, though disappointingly short. Alas, the format didn‘t seem to give enough scope to Wright‘s often gruesome sense of humor.
