Today’s topic comes from QSFer MD Grimm:
What are ghosts? Are they echoes that repeat, residual hauntings? Or are they, essentially, lost souls trapped for emotional reasons?
We talk a lot about vampires, shifters, and even zombies, but ghosts don’t get nearly as much play.
And yet they are, except for their form, arguably more human than any of those other paranormal creatures, lending themselves well to character storylines.
So what are ghosts? How can we use them in our stories? And what are some of the LGBt stories that have done them well?
