Bad Kid is the story of a Goth boy who dreamed of being anywhere but the middle of Texas in 1991. Preferably somewhere in London wearing fishnet gloves and a cape while standing alone in the rain. In this funny and moving examination of rebellion, sexuality and friendship, David Crabb reflects on what it means to grow up different and alone, just like everyone else.
Bad Kid is based on the true story of a Texas teen who navigates his outcast adolescence in a goth-obsessed, drug-fueled haze.
Bad Kid is a candid and hysterically honest examination of what it means to grow up different and alone. "As Goth kids, we thought that everything honest was rooted in death, even our sexual urges and our concept of 'fun,'" said Crabb. "But as I grew up I could sense there was another 'freak' beneath the one I contrived as a 15 year-old who wore dog collars and black nail polish; the
lifelong freak, not the temporary one. I wanted to find out who he was."
