Yes, folks, you read the subject line correctly! Has it been that long? Anyway, let's get cracking. Today, instead of a discussion, we have something I like to call a "Let Me Rec You" post. You comment with anything (author, a word in the title, genre, character, anything) and people (this means you) get to reply with one or more book/comic titles

comics similar to Y The Last Man

[zenni]

Well, I don't know about this in terms of similarity, but Ex Machina is outstanding, and it's also by Brian K. Vaughan, so there are comparable factors.

Vampires. :[

[fiore_di_fuoco]

Twilight series by Stephenie meyer

[fiore_di_fuoco]

the undead series by MaryJanice Davidson

[fiore_di_fuoco]

the blood series and the smoke and shadows series by tanya huff

(posting as the titles come to my mind

[maekala]

Mindf*ck and generally dark

[fiore_di_fuoco]

The magic toyshop by Angela Carter (I couldn't finish it, btw, way too twisted for me) warning: deals with sexuality

[counterfeitcoin]

Not entirely sure if this would qualify, but Drawing Blood by Poppy Brite freaked me out. Lost Souls creeped me out to the point where I couldn't finish it, but more because of an incest scene. It's a vampire book, too. Drawing Blood is a wonderful haunted house/ghost story.

[yasaman]

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski, the most mindfuck of all mindfucks. It's a haunted house story, of a sort, and the most terrifying thing I've ever read. Warnings: violence, crazy type settings, and really long.

The Time Traveler's wife by Audrey Niffenegger.

[truest_wishes]

Ursula, Under by Ingrid Hill. I haven't read The Time Traveler's Wife but Audrey Niffenegger recommends it.

[sapphiredragon]

I was actually going to type this. I can't think of anything like her but I whole to find it.

[sapphiredragon]

Ooh, but I am excited about her new book about twins or something.

[jaejosylyn]

Young heroines (other than anything by Tamora Pierce, because I own all her books :D)

[fiore_di_fuoco]

Kushiel Series by Jaqueline Carey (delves into erotica and D/s though)

[jaejosylyn]

Erotica is just fine with me! But what is D/s? Same as S&M maybe?

[fiore_di_fuoco]

it's dominance/submission. The kushiel series, now that you mention it, may be more SM though.
