About this collection

  • Printed to order on heavyweight, garment-dyed Comfort Colors 1717
  • Sizes S–2XL in colors from Ivory and Butter to Moss and Black
  • Designed like the cover of a dog-eared drugstore romance novel

Every shirt here is a romance novel cover that never should have been published. A werewolf with a broken heart. A mummy wrapped in desire. A giant kaiju crab and the woman who changed him. The art borrows everything from the classic paperback cover: dramatic lighting, windswept hair, a title in swooping script and a love story no one asked for.

They're a hit with romance readers, horror fans and anyone who has ever judged a book by its cover. The joke is in the details, so give the tagline a second read.

Frequently asked questions

Are these real books?
No. Every title and cover is an original parody. If you ever see one on a shelf, we'd love to know.
Which monsters get a love story?
Werewolves, vampires, witches, zombies, mummies, skeletons, Frankenstein's monster, the invisible man, a scarecrow, a lagoon creature and a whole lineup of kaiju.
Will the print fade?
The ink is printed directly into the cotton. Wash it inside out in cold water and it holds up well. Garment-dyed shirts mellow a little over time, which is part of the look.
Are they made to order?
Yes. Every shirt is printed when you order it, which means no warehouse full of leftovers and a wider choice of colors.
Do they make good gifts?
They're one of the easiest gifts to get right. Pick the joke that sounds like them, and they'll think of you every time someone laughs at it.
