History Main / BoyMeetsGhoul

** [[RealLifeWritesThePlot While it wasn't handled that well or given much focus due to the actress' busy schedule]], [[MysteriousWaif Koyomi]] and Haruto, the titular ''Series/KamenRiderWizard'', are largely this. Koyomi is basically a RevenantZombie fueled by constant mana supplied by Haruto. Their bond is not explicitly romantic, due to the age demographic, but they are undeniably close, physically so, and she definitely serves as his LivingEmotionalCrutch, that much is absolutely made clear all throughout the show and beyond

* The ''Series/MastersOfHorror'' episode "Jenifer" is a deconstruction. Boy warms to Ghoul first out of pity, then becomes ''sexually'' obsessed with it. Ghoul pretends to love Boy to provide for it while Ghoul keeps murdering people.

* ''LightNovel/{{Durarara}}'':

* ''LightNovel/{{Overlord}}'': Albedo is passionately in love with her master, Lord Momonga, and wants to bear his children. The fact that he's a lich, which means that he very definitely lack the parts required to accomplish such a thing, is something she tends to disregard. Justified in that she's a former MMO NPC who was written that way (and he only intended it to be a cute and fun thing, since the original MMO had limitations on NPC behavior anyway). His other servant, the vampire Shalltear, also lusts for him (and she wasn't programmed for it, so it's apparently a trait of her own).

* ''Film/TheLostBoys.'' Boy meets (half) vampire and the gang of goth biker punk vampires who turned her. [[HilarityEnsues Hilarity - and carnage - ensues]].

[[folder:Literature]]
* Ancient Chinese literature quite often features stories of men falling in love with fox-spirits or ghosts (or, in one case, living quite happily in a three-way marriage with a fox spirit ''and'' a ghost). At least one story features a man having sex with the spirit of a butterfly (although she was in human form at the time).

* ''Literature/TheHauntedBookshopMysteries'' by Creator/AliceKimberly features this on the side. Penelope owns a bookshop haunted by Jack, a 1940's detective, who was killed on the premises way back when. Together, [[TheyFightCrime they solve murders]] and have... ''[[UnresolvedSexualTension something]]'' going on between them.

** And of course, Boy also meets [[HornyDevils Succubus]], [[CuteWitch Witch]] [[HotWitch (twice!)]], [[AnIcePerson and Yuki-Onna]]. And although Boy makes it clear that he's only interested in meeting Vampire, [[UnwantedHarem they make it equally clear they don't care]]. Later, boy [[HoYay meets a not gay]] [[SummonMagic Yasha]] who would support [[MarryThemAll polyamory]] as part of his effort to recruit them all into his family's [[TheTriadsAndTheTongs supernatural Triad]]. And Vampire's [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Superpowered]] {{Tsundere}} [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Side]] reminds all of them to [[CurbStompBattle know their place]].

* ''Anime/{{Maburaho}}'': Being killed doesn't stop [[spoiler:Kazuki]] from having a harem.

* ''Literature/{{Goosebumps}}'': In the Ghost Next Door book, girl meets boy, boy accidentally passes through girl and girl is actually a ghost.

* The film ''Film/{{Ghost}}'' features a romance between a living woman and her dead boyfriend.

** Fifteen years ago, the indebatably undead vampire Evangeline stalked Nagi, who got sick of it and cursed her to remain on the Mahora school grounds for a few years, but forgot to let her out before eventually disappearing ten years ago. In the present, she attacks his son Negi out of irritation, but eventually ends up getting treated somewhere between his primary teacher and a potential love interest. Later on, Negi learns a DangerousForbiddenTechnique created by Evangeline, which only undying beings like her should be able to use because normal humans become corrupted. As a result, Negi becomes an immortal demon of the same kind as Evangeline and he says he's happy to be the same as her now. [[spoiler:In one AlternateTimeline shown in the SequelSeries, Negi and Evangeline do develop a romantic relationship in the future.]]

* ''Film/{{Byzantium}}'' has IllBoy Frank meet and subsequently fall for vampire Eleanor.

* ''VideoGame/DivinityOriginalSinII'': Fane the [[DemBones skeleton]] is fair game for a RomanceSidequest (or a unique one-night stand) as an NPC companion or as a player character. His [[SenseLossSadness lack of a sense of touch]] is a hurdle that can eventually be overcome with shapeshifting magic or a MentalAffair.

* One minor sidequest in ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]]'' has you searching for the journals of the necromancer Arondil. As you search the barrow he is currently squatting in, it's impossible to ignore the fact that it's populated entirely by female Draugr and ghosts. As you read his journals, it becomes clear that Arondil's interest in the female undead wasn't entirely scholarly. Apparently he finds the feel of ghostly ectoplasm arousing. Eventually you get to the end of the dungeon and find a double bed... with a female ghost "sleeping" in it.

* In the ''Franchise/{{Fallout}}''verse, Ghouls are actually post-necrotic humans who have suffered extensive radiation burn damage and therefore have the appearance and smell of rotting flesh. They are therefore subject to a lot of FantasticRacism and are usually ostracized. But there are a very small number of people who actually fetishize ghouls. In [[VideoGame/Fallout2 New Reno]], hookers will demand extra for sleeping with your ghoul companion, but won’t outright refuse the encounter. In ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'', a casino owner asks you to specifically recruit a ghoul prostitute; whose services you can engage if you wish, and another casino named Gomorrah has a few ghoul sex workers. In ''VideoGame/Fallout4'', you can romance Hancock, the “cool” ghoul.

* The framing device of the Creator/NeilGaiman story "The Hunt" is an old man telling his granddaughter a story. Turns out, the story is meant to educate her about why it is a bad idea for her, [[spoiler: a werewolf]], to continue her relationship with her [[spoiler:human]] boyfriend
** Or at least, that's what she thinks is the point of the story. It's hinted that her mind was too preoccupied with her own situation to catch the other possible messages in her grandfather's story.

* ''ComicBook/{{Robin|Series}}'': Darla Aquista, who was already a StalkerWithACrush with heavy shades of EntitledToHaveYou for Tim before her death, is brought back as a superpowered undead magic using assassin who ''thinks'' she's dating Tim after he agrees to have a meal with her because she refuses to take no for an answer when he makes it clear that he still has no interest in dating her.

** The entire series begins when CuteBookworm Kaneki meets a sweet girl named [[FemmeFatale Rize]] [[WoundedGazelleGambit Kamishiro]], and asks her on a date. Unfortunately, their date ends with her trying to eat him. He ends up as a HalfHumanHybrid, after both are mortally wounded and her organs are transplanted into him. Seducing and eating humans turns out to have been Rize's preferred hunting method.

** Or at least that's what she thinks is the point of the story. It's hinted that her mind was too preoccupied with her own situation to catch the other possible messages in her grandfather's story.

* ''Film/DerPhilosoph'': Georg the writer has fallen in with three, count 'em, three gorgeous ladies, roommates who all want to have sex with him. He puzzles about his mysterious luck for a while until Franziska, the one he's actually having sex with, tells him the truth. After telling Georg that it's perfectly OK for him to have sex with all three of them, she reveals that the three ladies are "agents in time", immortal beings that flit back and forth from one time to another time. Later another of the women describes them as "goddesses". They may be Muses, or they may be the three Graces, but in any event they have taken Georg under their wing and they're going to nurture his talents.

* Inverted in ''Literature/BearingAnHourglass'': Orlene, a beautiful and intelligent woman, is technically married to a ghost named Gawain. But, the ghost needs to carry on his family line. So, the ghost tries constantly to set her up with suitors, to produce the heir he needs so he can pass on. However, she has never seen and cannot see Gawain.

** In ''Yvgenie'', Pyetr's daughter Ilyanna [[spoiler:(her mother is Eveshka)]] is caught in a love triangle between a ghost she grew up knowing [[spoiler:and who also happens to be the man who murdered her mother, having been redeemed during the second book,]] and a boy she rescues from drowning. [[spoiler:In the end she gets both of them due to Kavi, (the ghost) possessing the boy to save his life, and then due to complicated magical circumstances becoming unable to leave him. They manage well enough and are both so smitten with her that everyone comes out happy in the end.]] It's got to be one of the strangest resolutions to a love triangle ever.

* ''Manga/RosarioToVampire'':

TheUndead are usually scary, but sometimes they're [[AttractiveZombie sexy]] or even [[CuteMonsterGirl cute]] as well, and sometimes, a guy or a gal falls in love with one. A little bit of stalking-the-night and [[HorrorHunger feasting-off-the-bodies-of-the-living]] is no impediment to true romance, after all. When Boy Meets Ghoul, or [[RomanticVampireBoy girl meets vampire]], or, in general, when a normal person meets an attractive member of the opposite, uh, side of the border between life and death, love can flourish. They say that [[ThePowerOfLove love conquers all]]. Maybe it can even conquer undeath?

* The mortal form that the protagonist of ''Literature/Dogsbody'' is cast down into is the product of a Cŵn Annwn mating with a Labrador, though the exact status of said {{Hellhounds}} is unclear, as they can breed amongst themselves and apparently die.

* The main plot of Creator/{{Tokyopop}}'s OELManga ''My Dead Girlfriend''.
* ''ComicBook/{{Madman}}'' has a normal girl in love with a dead guy who looks weird enough in the costume he almost always wears, but beneath that mask is a person who looks very much like a corpse.
* In the ''Cherry Comics'' parody of Creator/AnneRice, Cherry and Ellie have sex with a vampire, a mummy and a ghost.

* In ''ComicBook/XForce''/''ComicBook/XStatix'', RevenantZombie superheroine Dead Girl has a casual sexual relationship with her living human team-mate Anarchist.

* The basic plot of every ''ComicBook/MyBoyfriendIsAMonster'' graphic novel goes like this: Girl meets guy (usually one or both of them are [[NewTransferStudent new students]]). Girl and guy fall in love. Guy turns out to be a supernatural creature of some kind (whether it be a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampire]], a [[OurGhostsAreDifferent ghost]], or a modern-day JekyllAndHyde).

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' fan art, Gumball/[[CuteGhostGirl Carrie]] is [[http://gumballxcarriefans.deviantart.com/ a popular pairing]].
* ''Fanfic/{{Hivefled}}'': Gamzee has exchanged flirtatious comments with Laneen, the ghost of a troll who is [[BrotherSisterIncest probably his half-sister]]. Trolls lack an incest taboo, which doesn't help much, especially since both of them were sexually abused by the troll who turned out to be their mother (or as close as one can get to one with troll reproduction) and [[OffingTheOffspring said mother killed Laneen]].
* ''Fanfic/GhostghostIknowyoulivewithinme'': [[Franchise/MassEffect Turian]] meets human girl. Girl dies, becomes a ghost and stays with Turian. They fall in love. Girl comes back to life and forgets their time together, somewhat...

* ''Fanfic/NotCompletelyAltogetherHere'' is themed around the romance between Elphaba and Glinda, the girl that ''would'' have been her university roomie if she hadn't died a semester before Elphaba transferred. Glinda is a ghost but Elphaba can touch her and, after a few chapters, see her as well.

* ''Film/DerPhilosoph'': Georg the writer has fallen in with three, count 'em, three gorgeous ladies, roommates who all want to have sex with him. He puzzles about his mysterious luck for a while until Franziska, the one he's actually having sex with, tells him the truth. After telling Georg that it's perfectly OK for him to have sex with all three of them, she reveals that the three ladies are "agents in time", immortal beings that flit back and forth from one time to another time. Later another of the women describes them as "goddesses". They may be Muses, or they may be the three Graces, but in any event they have taken Georg under their wing and they're going to nurture his talents.

* In ''Film/IMarriedAWitch'', an ordinary guy falls in love with a nearly 300,000-year-old witch.
* ''Film/LetTheRightOneIn''. Another PuppyLove version, though a very dark one. Boy meets a strange young girl who turns out to be a vampire. [[ChildhoodMarriagePromise Childhood love]] / [[AxeCrazy violent deaths]] ensue.

* ''Film/Underworld2003'': Boy meets vampire [[spoiler:and turns into a [[FurAgainstFang werewolf]] himself]].

* ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'': Girl meets vampire and werewolf and love triangle ensues.

* ''Literature/LetTheRightOneIn'': Young boy meets apparently-young vampire, and, as with the movie version, puppy love + carnage ensues.
* ''Literature/TheVampiresBeautifulDaughter'': Rebecca is a half-vampire, and has to choose between undeath with her father and vampire friends or a human life with her human boyfriend Johnny. The story is told from Johnny's point of view.

* ''Literature/ThePeonyLantern'': Boy meets ghost. She takes him with her. Although it may have just been an elaborate hoax made up by his servant so he can steal a solid gold talisman from the local temple.
* ''Literature/TheImmortalRules'' has as its protagonist a newly turned vampire struggling with her new life in a [[AfterTheEnd post-apocalyptic world]]. This trope comes to the fore when she meets and eventually falls in love with the [[PreachersKid adopted son]] of a priest leading a small group of survivors to find a legendary city. Unfortunately both the priest and his son believe that [[ChurchMilitant vampires are unholy demons that must be destroyed without hesitation]], so it makes the reveal a little awkward to say the least. [[spoiler: though by the end, he has at least accepted her vampirism once he knows the [[EmergencyTransformation story]] [[WhatHaveIBecome behind it]].]]

* ''Literature/WarmBodies'': Zombie eats boy, gains his memories, falls for his girlfriend. [[AbductionIsLove Then]] [[InterspeciesRomance it]] [[AMatchMadeInStockholm gets]] [[DeusSexMachina weird.]]
* ''Literature/AnnaDressedInBlood'': A ghost-hunting teenage boy travels to a new town to dispatch a particularly troublesome ghost. They fall in love instead.
* Ancient Chinese literature quite often features stories of men falling in love with fox-spirits or ghosts (or, in one case, living quite happily in a three-way marriage with a fox spirit ''and'' a ghost). At least one story features a man having sex with the spirit of a butterfly (although she was in human form at the time).
* ''Literature/ChroniclesOfAReluctantNecromancer'': Protagonist necromancer raises dead girl back to life, who happens to be an assassin too, girl tries to seduce necromancer but eventually falls in love with him.
* ''Literature/FafhrdAndTheGrayMouser'': Fafhrd's ghoulfriend Kreeshka. Minor twist in that Leiber's ghouls are a race, not undead humans. Still, they look like skeletons with organs over them and they eat human flesh. Plus, they're "ghouls."
* ''Zombie Lover'' in the ''Literature/{{Xanth}}'' series has the titular zombie in love with a living man.
* Creator/CJCherryh's Russian trilogy:
** In ''Rusalka'', Pyetr, one of the two main characters, falls in love with Eveshka, a Rusalka and the title character. A rusalka is the ghost of a drowned woman that devours human life to remain in the world. And it's mutual. [[spoiler:She is brought back from the dead at the end of the book]].
** In ''Yvgenie'', Pyetr's daughter Ilyanna [[spoiler:(her mother is Eveshka)]] is caught in a love triangle between a ghost she grew up knowing [[spoiler:and who also happens to be the man who murdered her mother, having been redeemed during the second book,]] and a boy she rescues from drowning. [[spoiler:In the end she gets both of them due to Kavi, (the ghost) possessing the boy to save his life, and then due to complicated magical circumstances becoming unable to leave him. They manage well enough and are both so smitten with her that everyone comes out happy in the end.]] It's got to be one of the strangest resolutions to a love triangle ever.

* Inverted in ''Literature/BearingAnHourglass'': Orlene, a beautiful and intelligent woman, is technically married to a ghost named Gawain. But, the ghost needs to carry on his family line. So, the ghost tries constantly to set her up with suitors, to produce the heir he needs so he can pass on. However, she has never seen and cannot see Gawain.

* In Maggie Furey's Aurian books, [[spoiler: Aurian's lover]] dies, but spends the rest of the series jumping in and out of death trying to protect and help her, despite the fact that she's found a new love by then. Death is understandably not very happy about this, and tries to claim all three of them.
* ''Literature/{{Cabal}}'' by Clive Barker, the book that the film ''Nightbreed'' was based on. The book features a graphic scene between [[{{Necrophilia}} the corpse]] of the protagonist Boone/Cabal and his girlfriend.

* An ''attempt'' at this kicks off the plot of ''Literature/TheGhostBride'' by Malaysian author Yangsze Choo. A recently dead young man wants to marry the protagonist, so he haunts his mother into proposing a ghost bride deal. (This is an actual tradition that was once observed, though not often. The basic idea was that marriage would put a troublesome ghost to rest.) The protagonist, however, is vehemently opposed to marrying him, both because he's dead and because he's kind of a JerkAss, so while he tries to court her and sets up an engagement dinner, they don't actually get married.
* The title story of John Bennett's collection of Charleston, South Carolina folklore ''The Doctor to the Dead'' features a young doctor named Heinrich Karl Ryngo who decides he is going to treat the dead rather than the living. During one of his trips to a local cemetery, he encounters the beautiful ghost of a young woman named Helen. He falls in love with her and, despite her protests that their romance could go nowhere, visits with her every night until finally he keeps her from her grave until after the sun comes up and the cock crows. As the dead are forbidden to be out at that time, she then disintegrates into dust, causing Ryngo to become totally unhinged. He spends the rest of his life trying to bring her back.
* ''Literature/TheHauntedBookshopMysteries'' by Creator/AliceKimberly features this on the side. Penelope owns a bookshop haunted by Jack, a 1940's detective, who was killed on the premises way back when. Together, [[TheyFightCrime they solve murders]] and have... ''[[UnresolvedSexualTension something]]'' going on between them.
* ''Literature/{{Carmilla}}'': Laura is captivated by Carmilla, who unbeknownst to her is a vampire. While Laura thinks of Carmilla as a friend, without any apparent erotic component, Carmilla declares several times that she is in love with Laura.
* In ''Literature/SkulduggeryPleasant'', it is more a case of Girl Meets Living But Is Rejected Then Proceeds To Assist In The Murder Of Him And His Family Without Him Knowing, He Then Returns From The Dead And Girl Still Loves Him And Is Rejected Even After Her Heel-Face Turn.
* "Literature/TheGhostOfPhilinnion": Philinnion, a girl who has been dead for several months, visits Machates, a young man who stays in her father's house because she loves him, and the two have an affair without Machates realizing that Philinnion is an undead.
* ''Literature/{{Goosebumps}}'': In the Ghost Next Door book, girl meets boy, boy accidentally passes through girl and girl is actually a ghost.

* ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights'' has Boy meets Ghost Paladin. Somehow, none of the issues that would create ever come up in the game, though it is implied that she gets a new body after you return to the world of the living.
* A possibility in one of the [[MultipleEndings endings]] of ''VideoGame/ManaKhemiaAlchemistsOfAlRevis'', in which Vayne [[WalkingTheEarth walks the earth]] with [[CuteGhostGirl Pamela]] as a travelling doctor.

* Probably the only reason the Konpaku family in ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' can consist of [[HalfHumanHybrid half-human-half-ghosts]].
* ''[[http://www.kongregate.com/games/krangGAMES/i-saw-her-standing-there I Saw Her Standing There]]'' has this as its premise. You have to lure a zombie girl to a cage in each level, with each "act" introducing a new gameplay twist. All the while, there is narrative text describing the love between the main characters. At the end of the game, [[spoiler: she zombifies him]], and the two sequels follow the lovebirds in this condition until they find a safe haven to live out the rest of their lives. [[spoiler: Or unlives]].
* Taiga in ''VideoGame/DuelSaviorDestiny'' is initially thrilled to receive the confession of love from the cute Nanashi, but this turns sour when her arm falls off and she invites him back into her crypt. Despite the bad beginning, they actually get along decently well. She also has a route, where it seems that half the reason Taiga isn't willing to sleep with her like he would anyone else isn't just because she's cold and dead, but rather because she lacks much in the way of a sense of touch and wouldn't enjoy it. [[spoiler:But hey, that can be fixed. And it turns out she's not a zombie, she's a homunculus.]]

* Happens with Mia/Godot (and to a lesser extent other dead/alive pairings) in ''Franchise/AceAttorney''. The justification is that spirit mediums like Maya and Pearl can channel the souls of the dead, to the point of taking on their physical forms. [[PowerPerversionPotential And then just about anything could happen.]]

* In ''VideoGame/TheSims3'', ghosts can be interacted with, invited to live with a family, and, yes, can produce ghost children with living Sims.

* In ''VideoGame/CityOfHeroes'' some of the later content established that Positron was in a relationship with Numina, a hero whose body had been destroyed in the 60's but had survived as a ghost.
** Ghost Widow and Wretch fall somewhere between this and LikeBrotherAndSister.

* In ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'''s setting, ghosts who don't realize they're dead (or don't want to pass on yet) can retain the physical form they had [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve when they were alive]]. Which makes it a bit awkward when the player remembers that [[spoiler:Tidus and Yuna]] did...''something'' back before they learned the former wasn't (technically) alive.
* In the ''Franchise/{{Fallout}}''verse, Ghouls are actually post-necrotic humans who have suffered extensive radiation burn damage and therefore have the appearance and smell of rotting flesh. They are therefore subject to a lot of FantasticRacism and are usually ostracized. But there are a very small number of people who actually fetishize ghouls. In [[VideoGame/Fallout2 New Reno]], hookers will demand extra for sleeping with your ghoul companion, but won’t outright refuse the encounter. In ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'', a casino owner asks you to specifically recruit a ghoul prostitute; whose services you can engage if you wish, and another casino named Gomorrah has a few ghoul sex workers. In ''VideoGame/Fallout4'', you can romance Hancock, the “cool” ghoul.

* The webcomic ''Webcomic/GhostFriend'' was based on having a living and undead character in a relationship.
* ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'' has [[http://xkcd.com/348/ this little comic]], where the boy's love interest seems to be a bit deader than most.
* In ''Webcomic/TheRepositoryOfDangerousThings'' [[http://www.drunkduck.com/The_Repository_of_Dangerous_Things/4863933/ Davis meets Wanderin' Laurie]], the PirateGirl Ghost.
-->'''Davis:''' ''[thinks]'' She was hot. But dead. But hot.
* ''Webcomic/UndeadFriend'': One of the more bizarre examples, as the only reason for meeting said boy is for an InevitableTournament, and they can switch places at the cost of his life for Superpowers.

* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'': Torg doesn't initially know that [[spoiler: Valerie]] is a vampire, and even after finding out, he initially thinks that un-living with her forever wouldn't be that bad. [[spoiler: But by the best guess, it isn't real love in either direction, and in any case he chooses to destroy her rather than turn against his friends.]]
* ''Webcomic/UnlifeIsUnfair'' is about the other way around, a nice zombie meets a girl and falls in love with her. She only wants to be his friend though. [[spoiler: Later on she discovers feelings for him, which can be kind of harrowing.]]

* In [[http://negamaki.thecomicseries.com/comics/40 Negamaki]] Chief Buffalo Jerky's friend Maize spends a lot of time dwelling on this. Despite both of them being dead, she's interested in [[ShipperOnDeck pairing the Chief off with Negamaki]] and asks Tamago to call her if he survives being attacked by the hell-moose.

* In ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'', Mort (a ghost) has a barely-concealed crush on Antimony (still alive). She does not reciprocate.
* Kev of ''Webcomic/AliceAndKev'' encounters a woman who doesn't seem to mind that he's a deranged, lecherous old hobo, and even responds favourably to his flirting. [[BittersweetEnding She vanishes when the sun comes up.]]

* Two examples in ''Webcomic/{{Erma}}'':
** A PuppyLove example is hinted at between Erma the HalfHumanHybrid StringyHairedGhostGirl and Conner, her human classmate through several comics.
** Erma's parents, the human father Sam and onryo youkai [[Film/TheRing Sadako-expy]] mother Emiko are HappilyMarried together. Their romantic journey from first meet to falling in love to marriage [[spoiler:and the trials Emiko's human-hating DisapprovingDad put them through including ''kidnapping Emiko'' before she managed to escape]] is detailed in the "Spirit's Bloom" side story.
* In ''Webcomic/WildeLife,'' there's some low-key but pretty obvious romance going on between [[TheProtagonist Oscar]] and [[CuteGhostGirl Sylvia]], the ghostly 1940s mathematician who haunts the house that he's renting.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'':
** Darwin has a crush on CuteGhostGirl Carrie. It's first seen in "Halloween" and later explored in "The Scam", which shows it to be a [[TwiceShy mutual, reluctant attraction]].
** "The Mirror" is about a being called the Snatcher, who is said to [[WasOnceAMan once have been a mortal]] who fell in love with a ghost woman, used magic so that he could hold her, [[TragicMonster and was turned into a monster as a side-effect.]] [[spoiler:He turns out to be Carrie's dad.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'' has Tina's 'erotic friend fiction,' which as often as not involves zombies.
