Recs if you like Hollow (Hollow, #1)...

LGBT*+ graphic novels / comics / manga +

Fluff to smut, including 18+ etc aka not exclusive to anything specific other than being queer content (queer & queer-rep inclusive stories). I have read a good handful of the ones now at the bottom of the list. Includes intended middle-grade-ish-level youth content to adult audience content.

In progress / updated over time

(recs highly welcome) Attempting a highly exhaustive list.

Exactly what it says on the tin: queer stories that also have ghosts.

what do you mean you're the tuna melt ilya made shane in heated rivalry 😭

The only criteria for this list is that it has a queer character and takes place near or on Halloween. Most books are horror, romance (both mild and spicy), mystery, or thriller. I haven't read most of these so I welcome suggestions. Happy gay Halloween!

Here we have comics and graphic novels with the spookiest vibes: scary witches, cute ghosts, and even some curses... choose carefully 🎃🍬👻✨️

– Halloweentown (1998) Books that are about, directly related to, or set during Halloween OR Spooky books specifically set during the month of October
