this is an absolutely ideal Pride Month list 😍😍😍 The Library of the Unwritten would technically fit in here too i think
Perfect, I added it! Thank you!
pumpkin spice & poltergeist totally fits this theme!
I have recs! Great subgenre fr.
Summer Sons by Lee Mandelo The London Seance Society by Sarah Penner (I lowkey hated this one lol but it sure does have gays and ghosts) The Undetectables by Courtney Smyth
Amazing! Adding these now.
Also have a lowkey-hated this book rec lol but I have to remember the title…
highly rec my darling dreadful thing by johanna van veen!
Omg yes!!! Excellent rec, added!
Love this! Here are my recs:
- The Salvage by Anbara Salam
- Masters of Death by Olivie Blake
Ahhh thank you! Added!
Great list 🤩 I'd definitely recommend Diavola by Jennifer Thorne and The Invocations by Krystal Sutherland!
Cool list! I recommend Sixteen Souls by Rosie Talbot!
Black Water Sister stars a lesbian dealing with troublesome spirits and gods.
Dead Serious Case #1 Miz Dusty Le Frey stars a gay guy being haunted by the ghost of a drag queen.
ugh two of my favourite things. faving and saving👻❤️🔥
eta: The Hollow and the Haunted by Camilla Raines would work!
Are we accepting graphic novels/comics/manga+ and do the ghosts need to be really there, and do the ghosts need to be human or can they be animals, and background characters?
It is now!!! Thanks for the rec!
