Some of these jokes were straight up hilarious. Others were a miss. I do think reading it in a paperback version with the drawings may add to the experience.

Dark Humor | Fast Read | Good Gift

From the author of Secret Santa, the perfectly spooky Christmas tale, comes this amazing little joke book.
On each illustrated page is a wonderfully dark little joke. It would be the perfect gift for anyone you know who enjoys the darker side of humor!

The jokes are funny, the illustrations even funnier. I laughed out loud on more than one occasion and a few times I even questioned if I should find something so morbid that funny. I decided I SHOULD! It is absolutely perfect. The only negative thing I have to say is that it was too short. I need more jokes and I need them NOW. Everyday is Halloween to me, even my birthday, no, really I was born on Halloween. I bleed orange and my personality is black and this was RIGHT up my alley. I can't wait to get my hands on a physical copy. BONUS it's a "read now" on NetGalley. What are you still doing here? GO...

Thank you 8th Circle Press and NetGalley allowing me access to this book. I was everything I needed and more.

This was cute as hell. A short, quick read of clever goth jokes. Love the title and cover. This would be such a great gift for the Wednesday Addams in your life.
TYSM for the opportunity to read this ARC before it is released.

Some of these jokes were fantastic, some were more of dad jokes. I enjoyed the illustrations so much I think they added a nice touch. I liked the book overall.

Oh My Goth: Jokes for When You Feel Dead Inside

Rating: 3/5 stars

First off, thank you so much to Netgalley, Andrew Shaffer and 8th circle press for giving me access to this ARC copy! 8th circle press for giving me access to this ARC copy!

This was a super fun short read. I will definitely be gifting this to some of my friends when the book releases, because I know a lot of them will get a kick out of this!

I am a sucker for corny jokes and dad jokes, and almost all of these jokes had me either smiling or laughing so hard I was crying (I know, I know. I just loved them.)

My favorite part about this overall was the illustrations that were included with this book. They fit the jokes pretty well.

Overall, it was a short amazing read, and I think everyone should give it a go!

This book is such a unique idea. I loved the illustrations and how I was able to read it so quick! Some of the jokes actually made me laugh out loud. I definitely recommend this for a quick palette cleanser between books or if you just have a dark sense of humor.

This book would be perfect for a gift to a fellow goth. Some of the jokes in here are so bad they are pretty funny.
Others are just bad but that's why I like it.

As the title suggest this book is very “goth” heavy. It’s the perfect gift for someone in your life who wants to feel like it’s Halloween all year round The joke were corny, but what would you expect. It would be a fun gag gift or something to put on your coffee table and pick up when you’re feeling a little bored

I thought a lot of these were really punny, I have never bought or read a joke book and expected it to be the funniest thing ever, it's a joke book, it's here for a chuckle and to whip out around your friends. I often buy joke books for friends that I think would match their personalities and I would give this to a few of them. Were all the hilarious? No. Could you find these online? Yes. But, I think if you're expecting anything different, I am not sure you have ever opened up a joke book. You leave this on your coffee table and let guests browse through it for a little fun, that's all there is to it.

What a delightful, dark little book to warm an old goth heart! The cover art is really beautiful, and immediately sparked my interest. The jokes were corny, some I've heard and some I haven't, but this is clearly meant to be on the lighter side. This book would be great to sit on someone's desk at work, or living room as part of decor. I think any person who identifies as goth or goth-adjacent would appreciate this- even kids! I gave 4 stars simply because I wanted the book to be a little longer, or perhaps even some illustrated humorous pictures at the end would have been cool. In any event, I enjoyed this one! Thanks NetGalley and Publisher for the ARC!

Really short read. Not what I expected. It feels like dad jokes but not fun., or at least I don’t get it. I expected dark humour jokes, something different really. Not for me.

Probably funnier to the non-goths than it would be to goths, this book was absolutely hysterical to me.

Thank you for the EArc in exchange for my honest review. Oh My Goth is a very quick book with cute little jokes about being goth. If you are not goth and/or don’t know a goth person this book isn’t for you. I laughed once or twice but overall wasn’t overly impressed with the content. Luckily it was quick and easy to read.

Q: Why was the emo girl jealous of her iPhone?
A: It died.

Oh My Goth was a wicked cute Goth joke book! A short read, which is typical of most joke books I’ve read. Was it my favorite book of the year? Nah. Was it entertaining on a Sunday morning? Heck, yeah!

“How many emo kids does it take to change a lightbulb?”

“None, they all sit in the dark and cry”

This book is ridiculous. 😂I like the idea and man some are so dumb. But I did get a laugh here and there. I enjoyed the illustrations the most. A good book to read if you want to laugh at the stupidity.

I thought these would be dark jokes but they just ended up being bad and hokey. I don't know if that was the intention but boy was it bad.

The cover and title of this book had me extremely intrigued and the content inside was perfect! It gave me a proper giggle and kept me entertained. Definitely going to be recommending this one to all of my friends! :)

Super cute set of goth / Halloweenish chuckles. The illustrations are A+. I will use this for writing prompts with my students!
