Gothic Tales of Haunted Love by Hope Nicholson, S.M. Beiko
3.0
Gothic Tales Of Haunted Love is a diverse graphic novel featuring 16 stories of love, loss, murder and mystery. Most of the stories were own voices and featured POC characters and queer characters.
For the most part I enjoyed the stories in this graphic novel. Most were diverse and the range of artwork was wonderful.
My favorite stories from the graphic novel were defiantly: H. Pueyo by Dante L It featured POC Mc’s, m/m romance and a good mystery. The artwork was brilliant and it was long enough to rate fairly.
Ladies Of The Lake by Sarah Winters Searle. Featured the cutest f/f romance and showing men just what women can do.
Secrets in the Silk by Niki This one was super creepy and I loved it. Ghost wife shows her husband the payback he deserves!
Mine field by Hien Pham This story was written in Korean. It featured a m/m romance that made me cry. The artwork was amazing and even though I couldn’t read what was happening the art was vivid and so the story was easy to follow.
I liked the rest of the stories though not as much as the ones mentioned above. Most were too short to rate even for a comic, some were five pages long. From the title I expected a lot of creepy stories and I was slightly disappointed to find we don’t get a lot of horror stories. We do get some but not nearly enough.
Overall I really enjoyed this graphic novel. The range of different artworks were fabulous and some of the stories took my breath away. However don’t expect the creepiest stories ever because you will be disappointed. Most of the stories featured love. I still recommend checking this out.
