    One of the best graphic novels I have ever had the pleasure of reading. While some of the (beautiful) artwork is scary, this story is full of so much heart. As someone who also has psychotic episodes, it was incredibly refreshing to read a character whose mental illness is not demonized. Alex is by the far the best representation I've seen and it's likely due to the author also experiencing psychosis.

    The family dynamic shines throughout, although I will give credit to the platonic and romantic relationships as well. There's nothing I would change about this story, it's that damn good.

    On a side note, Alex's music choices are peak.

  • Book Recommendations Here Please

    Hello! Please give your queer horror book recommendations below! I accept indie and traditionally published books into the quest as long as the book is listed on PB or can be added to PB’s library. We are sorely in need of books with reps including: Indigenous MCs/authors, Pacific Islander MCs/authors, Intersex MCs/authors, Asexual MCs/authors, and Non-Binary MCs/authors. I’m always looking for books with diverse representation so please still feel free to recommend a book even if it doesn’t include a character/author with the representation above, just note that books with those representations will likely be added first because, well, I don’t have a lot/any books with them in it listed in the quest and I would like this quest to be as diverse as possible.

    Horror has a somewhat loose term here (as mentioned in my introduction post) as publishers don’t always list books with horror elements as “horror”. So we’ll say horror and horroresque books (if you can squint and call it horror, then you’re welcome to include it as a recommendation). There’s not a lot of rules to recommending books but here are some: 1.) Obviously all books recommended here should be queer in some way or shape (“hetero” asexuals are still queer). 2.) It should be a well written book in the manner of it not being full of simple spelling and grammar mistakes. I will likely be reading every single book that gets added to this quest but please don’t recommend a book that couldn’t be submitted as a creative writing paper in a school project. Don’t subject me or fellow PBers to that. 3.) Look to see if your recommendation has already been recommended below before commenting. I don’t want this post to be flooded with the same book being recommended 10 times. 4.) Please tell me what rep is included in the book if it’s not already obvious from the book blurb.

    I may not include all recommendations into the quest but I will at least look at your recommendations and will consider it (especially if it has a lot of upvotes/comments). Other than that, GO CRAZY!
