Queer Spoopy Romance Books

by AlchemistQ

113 books

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.

“A thing doesn’t have to turn completely bad before you leave it behind. Something better just needs to come along.” ... “If you only ever make a change when you’re unhappy, you’ll always be in the position of running away from something, never running toward it.”

Damn. This is something I think everyone should hear in their lifetime. The idea that we don't need to wait for something to go completely to shit before we make a change shouldn't feel so revolutionary. I think this is the difference between surviving and thriving.
