While I ended up really liking it, it wasn't what I was expecting, so here are the talking points summarized for you: - These are not explicit romance. Maybe PG-13, for some kissing, but if Love in Panels had a PG rating, I'd probably give it that. - Lots of ghosts! I was expecting werewolves and vampires like we see in PNR novels, but it was a pleasant surprise to see a full spectrum of paranormal. - Most of the stories are fairly short, so unlike some anthologies, you may not have a strong emotional response to a story by the time you've finished it. That said, the length and variability of the stories really appealed to my 2017 brain. - Queer is loosely defined in this anthology, meaning that the characters are free to be who they are, often without explicitly defining themselves to the reader. This was one of my favorite aspects of the book. Queer folks finding happiness, having full lives, not being only defined by certain pieces of their identities... more of this! - This is a book you could give to family members, that kid you're mentoring, the library... you name it. It's a strong piece of supportive and fun fiction without being violent or sexually explicit. If you want a light, happy read in which you can find some queer people finding happiness with paranormal entities, this is the book for you. # [The Other Side, an Anthology of Queer Paranormal Romance](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/the-other-side-an-anthology-of-queer-paranormal-romance) [fa icon="calendar"] Jun 12, 2017 1:04:00 PM / by [Suzanne](https://www.loveinpanels.com/comics/author/suzanne) - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Looking for a fun read featuring happy queer folks finding love with paranormal beings?
