She likes supernatural and horror.
I would recommend Morning Glories, although it's ongoing. Maybe The Umbrella Academy.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

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.)

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?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thanks for all the recs, I'll check them out. Beasts of Burden especially looks like something she'd like.

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

Is Promethea all collected in one book, perchance? I'd like to read that myself.

I think it's collected into several trades; the initial series ran 32 issues.

For horror: 30 Days of Night (the original). Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse is horror/comedy. Both are in TPB. I was gonna recommend the Dark Horse Book of Hauntings but Beasts of Burden probably covers that.
If she's not generally interested in superheroes, I wouldn't recommend Watchmen. I mean, unless you want to ensure that she stays uninterested in them.
