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. Mostly serving as an all-in-one-spot list until Pagebound figures something out that works well for multi-genre/format exploration. :)

(recs highly welcome) Attempting a highly exhaustive list.

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

Sometimes we need a little bit more out of horror books. What’s better than adding creepy art?! From ghosts and monsters to serial killers and slow descents into madness, this is a list of graphic novels that delve into the dark. Some are stand-alones and some are part of a series, I’ve only included the first of these to save my sanity (and space). Recommendations encouraged Please no Marvel or DC

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.

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

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 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!

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

books that warm and/or break my little lesbian heart

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

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

Need to finish your montly/yearly goal? Starts summoning graphic novels 💫 (multi-genre options included)📔

Some titles may be more suitable for mature readers. Please feel free to leave a comment if you'd like some guidance☺️

*Nb: Not all are standalone, some are a series🌼 Webcomics listed below have been published and have print editions🏵

horror novels published in canada with a particular emphasis on Indigenous authors and indie press publications! I'm currently in a publishing program learning about how in danger the canadian publishing industry is and how rarely book reading in canada actually highlights our own authors so one could say this list is a cope and an attempt to add that to ways i'm diversifying my reading. obv disclaimer that canada is. yikes. but this is in the context of mainly american books being platformed
