Recs if you like A Guest in the House...

Book covers with typography oriented in non-standard alignments, instead of the typical horizontal + left to right text alignment. Or: graphic design is my passion, and today we are learning about text paths 🙂‍↕️. This is an immensely silly List, and always open to suggestions—vertical text, circular, upside down, anything goes!

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.

Graphic Medicine is… (an actual term) graphic novels, manga, comics, and visual representation engaging with health and healthcare - from health diagrams visual pamphlets to a graphic novel including health story or rep.

Note: I have NOT read all of these. It’s more a collection of a genre than intended as a recommendation. Do your research! :)

Mostly adult, YA, MG, and some other youth/ all ages titles

In-progress / updated over time Reccomendations welcome

Creepy books made better because there are queer characters

aka my "i just love pretty and cool art and especially when it's lesbian/sapphic" list

I have spent years curating a list of graphic novels for myself on goodreads and I thought this place would be great to share it and share my love for graphic novels. I’m not picky about the plot or topics of the graphic novels I read so the list is pretty much any graphic novel I have heard of regardless of topic. Many are middle grade or young adult as is the general trend of the format but recommendations for more (especially adult) would be greatly appreciated.

Also manga is not included.

Books on my TBR with LGBTQIA+ characters or themes.

books that warm and/or break my little lesbian heart

Books that remind me of Mulder and Scully and their wild x-file hunting days. Suggestions welcome. I’m forever chasing that high.

We don't discriminate! Whether its a novella, graphic novel, collection of essays or anthology, if its fun horror, then its on here!

haunted houses, spatial horror, and adjacent “something is going on with/in this structure” narratives! including nonfiction about actual places or analysis of the convention

A mix of anthologies, standalones, and series. Many are indie!

Books and stories featuring unreliable narrative situations.

Complete list of graphic novels I've read across multiple genres and maturity levels. Includes standalones and series.

Read at your own risk. Some are good and others let's pretend they don't exist.

Recommendations are always welcome, feel free to comment.

my reading interests for some LGBTQ sci fi, fantasy, and horror books and series

messy, problematic women whom you might have an affinity towards if you also feel like an unlikable character sometimes
