the spookyboys, in collaboration with @reeseweston
With an aching secret wedged between his ribs, Felix Novak embarks on a quest for truth and to unveil the existence of aliens, ghosts, cryptids, and everything in between.
Casper Nguyen, a firm non-believer in anything not proven by fact, unexpectedly becomes entangled in Felix’s pursuit of the impossible.
Together, they blur the lines between the known and the unexplainable—and their friendship along the way.

characters :
Felix Novak
Psychosis runs in the Novak family. At least that’s what his father’s been trying to convince Felix of ever since the day his mother was sent away following her hysterical claims of seeing a woman in their house that no one else could see.
Except … Felix is positive he saw her too.
Even more certain that he spoke to her.
Maybe not in words, but through his Ouija board.
Years have come and gone since then, and though Felix hasn’t yet been able to prove his mother’s sanity, he has seen his fair share of ghosts and monsters, of creatures both evil and benign, and he’s not given up looking for the truth.
Casper ‘Cas’ Nguyen
Ghosts don’t exist, Cas is as sure of that as he is the insomnia that plagues him.
That is, until he meets eccentric and curious Felix, a man insistent that this insomnia Cas suffers from might in fact be the cause of a ghost not only haunting his apartment but also sharing some sort of deeper connection that is much too extreme for Cas to grasp.
Even in the face of proof that this ghost, and others like it, might indeed exist, Cas remains skeptical.
Even after years following Felix prove the existence of the paranormal on film, Cas remains skeptical.
Because there has to be another explanation … right?
Croix Harvoth
Croix was once a kinder and gentler person, but ghosts ruined that for him.
A near-death experience during an attempt to bring his former best friend’s girlfriend back to life has left him haunted. Literally. To the point he can’t sleep most days because the ghosts in his occult shop / apartment won’t shut the fuck up.
Like he owes them something, they come to him seeking help, seeking guidance to the next stage of their lives … or lack thereof … and no matter what he does, he can’t seem to get rid of them.
It’s turned him into an asshole of a hermit who avoids the living as often as he can … which isn’t easy when you run a business.
Someone’s got to pay the bills, though, and his cat, Jackass, will starve without her damned cat food, so what’s a guy going to do?
Atticus Flood
Some might say he is too giving, too gentle, too eager to help, and they would be right.
Atticus can heal the ailments of others, from minor wounds to major ones, from simple sorrows to the deepest mental aches, but in turn, it takes a part of him, too.
His hair is losing its color, drained from its deep black roots to a haunting white like a spider’s thread. His nails have taken on a similar fate, but his eyes still hold some of the life still lingering in him.
Taking it too much further might mean the end for him, but Atticus isn’t sure he can say no.
Especially not when he meets Croix and knows he might be the only thing that can save him from his demons.
Katy Lovelace
Everyone needs a friend acquainted in witchcraft, though Felix might have been skeptical when they first met. Which is saying something, considering all of his out-there beliefs … but this was different. This was putting his best friend in the hands of a stranger, inexperienced in the ways of magic, no one quite knowing what risks they might face.
Now, though, she’s a go-to friend for advice on crystals and spells, and the occasional bath time essential oil recommendations.
Things are slowly taking shape as I make my arrangements before leaving to a new-old adventure. Honestly, a big part of me wants to stay here, with all the amazing people I've met, the freedom I've experienced and the opportunities possible here... But for now, I know what's the right thing to do. It's bitter sweet. Right now, more bitter than sweet, but truly, like everything, another catalyst for growth. 🖤🖤🖤 #goth #gothguy #tattooed #tattooedguys #gothgoth #instagay #instagoth #gaygoth #altboy #spookyboys #pierced #gothsofinstagram #tattooed #tattooedguys #tattoedboys #alternative #gayboys #gaysofinstagram #gayboy #gaymen #gay #veganguys #inked (at Leipzig, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvaClHqgXuh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1s6pwktxurd06
My sleeve is FINALLY complete, together with corrections to my chest piece. So happy that I've finally finished it. To me, these are so much more than just tattoos. It makes me feel like the outside matches my inside. It makes me feel safe. It makes me feel at home in my own body. I don't know much now, I don't know where I'm headed, but what I do is know is that I finally feel comfortable with myself, and that's worth everything. I wanna thank my amazing tattoo artist @helena_addams_tattoo for these amazing works and being so patient and sweet, as I know I can be too much of a perfectionist. P.s: filled with plasma and blood here. Yum. 🖤🖤🖤 #goth #gothguy #tattooed #tattooedguys #gothgoth #instagay #instagoth #gaygoth #altboy #spookyboys #pierced #gothsofinstagram #tattooed #tattooedguys #tattoedboys #alternative #gayboys #gaysofinstagram #gayboy #gaymen #gay #veganguys #ancientegypt https://www.instagram.com/p/Bno94P9gEfS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19mu4p6tqlgdj
