This PRIDE Month, two best-selling paranormal books bring to light the intersection of LGBTQ+ experiences and the supernatural. 'Haunting Emery Estate' and 'Kindred Spirits' by Rob Gutro, in collaboration with paranormal investigator and drag queen Monique Toosoon, explore ghostly encounters with a unique twist. These stories not only entertain but also shed light on the ways in which the paranormal can intersect with personal identity and relationships.
'Haunting Emery Estate' details a chilling investigation at the Emery Estate in Massachusetts, where Gutro and Toosoon connected with three ghosts, uncovering their stories and the reasons they remain earthbound. The book highlights the dynamic energy Toosoon brings to investigations, proving that the paranormal field is as diverse as the investigators within it. Meanwhile, 'Kindred Spirits' delves into the personal, chronicling how Gutro's husband's late partner has been a part of their relationship for over two decades, offering a touching look at love, loss, and the bonds that transcend the physical world.
Both books have resonated deeply with LGBTQ+ readers, achieving best-seller status and topping Amazon's Ghosts and Hauntings and Parapsychology categories. Their success underscores the importance of diverse voices in the paranormal genre, offering fresh perspectives and stories that reflect a wide range of human experiences. As Gutro and Toosoon continue to explore the unknown, their work not only entertains but also enriches the paranormal field with inclusivity and depth.
