Avoiding Sunlight in Style–A Goth Guide to Summer

A goth summer is the only summer we will accept. Summer is that special time of year where days are longer, the sun is brighter and the sound of ice cream trucks can be heard cruising through every suburban neighborhood along with the giggling of children as their feet pitter-patter on the sun kissed pavement, racing to get their favorite treats. Lightning bugs illuminate the hot night as young Summer love blossoms and begins a new…and it’s all absolutely miserable.

If you’re anything like us, the best place to spend summer is inside–conducting a Séance or watching Nosferatu for the millionth time. But like it or not, the Summertime is an unstoppable force. This is a guide for the pale-skinned set–the enemies of the sun who only wish to get through three scorching months in style so they can finally pick out a damn Halloween costume.
