Books that are a little off the beaten path of "normal" romance, MM/queer books featuring darker themes like dark academia, paranormal happenings, murder mysteries, religious trauma, etc.

a definitely not exhaustive list of books containing ghosts, ghost hunters (professional and amateur) and those that can see them/are haunted by them. this list contains middle grade, YA and adult fiction.

The spoopy season is upon us, and queer love prevails! Get ensnared in these books throughout October, where romance meets ghosts, monsters, witches, and all things delightfully eerie. From cozy paranormal crushes to deliciously dark entanglements, these books are sure to give you chills in all the best ways.

“Queer” refers to the identities of the main characters, not whether a romantic relationship is between a man and a woman. This list spans a multitude of sexual/romantic orientations and relationship orientations.

Note: If a series features the same MCs, I've only put the first book. If a series features different MCs, I've only listed the relevant book(s) in the series.
