Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Jilli, I haven't read The Crow, so thanks for that - I'll warn her mom. She seems very confident that Em can handle the mature stuff, but she's never read comics; I'm not confident that we're using the same definition of "mature" here.

Em does not like Stardust. Probably because her mom loves it.

What kinds of stories does she like?

She likes supernatural and horror. As far as I know, she's never read anything darker than the Twilight series. Granted, Twilight got pretty twisted.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Watchmen is pretty fucked up. Has she seen the movie?

I don't think she's seen Watchmen the movie. I'm running everything through her mom first.

Consuela, what's Digger?

P.-C., I'll check out the ones you rec.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

She likes supernatural and horror.

I would recommend Morning Glories, although it's ongoing. Maybe The Umbrella Academy.

I suppose I should mention Dead@17 since it seems like it would appeal to her, but it's not that great, so there's that.

Clubbing is nice, though. Cute little short book. (And there is a supernatural element to it that's not immediately obvious, which is why I'm recommending it.)

Beasts of Burden

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Em does not like Stardust. Probably because her mom loves it.

Is her only experience with Stardust the movie? Because FWIW, I ... did not like the movie. At all. But I love the comic and the novel.

I second Scola's rec of Courtney Crumrin! It's a wonderful series.

Hmmm. Umbrella Academy?

Thanks for all the recs, I'll check them out. Beasts of Burden especially looks like something she'd like.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

It may be a little sex-heavy at times, but Moore's Promethea is also an excellent read.
