The Science of Ghosts is one of the handful of graphic novels I read, and I greatly enjoyed it. I love Doctor Joy Ravenna and how true to herself she is, and the cast of characters that surround her. The mystery is as masterfully crafted as the artwork.

I'll be interviewing Lilah for my podcast, Novel Finds, in a few weeks and plan to release the episode in June for Pride month.

Reminded me a bit of The Sandman in a good way. Great suspenseful plot and characters, appreciated the queer rep.

The Science of Ghosts is a fantastic premise for a comic. Primary character, Joy Ravenna, is a forensic parapsychologist who uses victimology to investigate cases. That specific focus on forensic psychology offered a new spin on parapsychologist that I found exciting as someone who is already a soft touch for supernatural investigation stories. The art is also beautiful with strong pencils and ink, capturing both human expressions and locations equally well.

Part of the comic I enjoyed was how it highlighted both struggles and joys within the queer community. Within Joy's personal story of transitioning during her marriage, her strained relationship with her ex-wife, a cop, defending her best friend from a murder charge, and navigating her current relationship, readers see snippets of struggles with law enforcement, the need for safe spaces and to find joy, and clear, honest communication.
