Can anyone really get into the Halloween spirit without a couple of good ghost stories?

We may have covered all kinds of creepy and spooky in our 13 Books to Get You in the Halloween Spirit list, but there are 3 ghostly YA graphic novels we definitely want to make sure you get your hands on. So don't miss the combo of cuteness, scary, swoony, and drama found in these stunning books! 

Anya's Ghost by Vera Brosgol

Anya could really use a friend. But her new BFF isn't kidding about the "forever" part . . . 

Of all the things Anya expected to find at the bottom of an old well, a new friend was not one of them. Especially not a new friend who's been dead for a century. 

Falling down a well is bad enough, but Anya's normal life might actually be worse. She's embarrassed by her family, self-conscious about her body, and she's pretty much given up on fitting in at school. A new friend—even a ghost—is just what she needs. 

Or so she thinks. 

Spooky, sardonic, and secretly sincere, Anya's Ghost is a wonderfully entertaining debut graphic novel from author/artist Vera Brosgol.

Friends With Boys by Faith Erin Hicks

Maggie McKay hardly knows what to do with herself. After an idyllic childhood of homeschooling with her mother and rough-housing with her older brothers, it's time for Maggie to face the outside world, all on her own. But that means facing high school first. And it also means solving the mystery of the melancholy ghost who has silently followed Maggie throughout her entire life. Maybe it even means making a new friend—one who isn't one of her brothers.

Funny, surprising, and tender, Friends with Boys by Faith Erin Hicks is a pitch perfect YA graphic novel full of spooky supernatural fun.

Cast No Shadow by Nick Tapalansky and Anissa Espinosa

Greg has lived in Lancaster his whole life. The town's always had its quirks, and being born without a shadow means he's counted among them. When Greg discovers an old mansion in the woods just outside of town, he didn't expect to meet a smart, beautiful, funny, and... very dead teenaged girl named Eleanor. 

Yeah. He's in love with a ghost. 

And before he knows what's happening, Greg finds himself at the wrong end of a history lesson when the town's past, and his own, threaten to pull the two of them apart permanently! 

From acclaimed comics writer Nick Tapalansky and phenomenal newcomer artist Anissa Espinosa, Cast No Shadow is a teen romance with humor and heart.
