đłïžâđ đ October Queer Romance Club - seeking suggestions đ đłïžâđ
Octoberâs theme is paranormal/Halloween reads. Iâll put the vote out over the weekend.
I have a few ideas already:
All of Us Murderers by KJ Charles (m/m, historical, Gothic, something unnatural lurksâŠ)
The Most Unusual Haunting of Edgar Lovejoy by Roan Parrish (transmasc they/cis he, ghosts, cosy)
Feast While You Can by Julia Armfield and Eliza Clark (f/f, sounds like actual horror though, so might not be to everyoneâs tastes)
But Not Too Bold By Hache Pueyo (sapphic gothic fantasy monster romance novella, possibly still more down the horror end)
The Lavender Blade by EL Deards (Iâm not sure if this is a romance actually, but it sounds great ;) established m/m relationship, a case of possession)
Other suggestions much appreciated!
(Weâve already had two ghost stories this year, Roland Rogers Isnât Dead Yet by Samantha Allen and The Keeper of Lonely Spirits by EM Anderson. Must be something in the air đ)
