Ghosted Zine

Ghosted is the second full-length homoerotic series zine from DICKSCOVERIES, blending photography, erotic poetry, ghost stories, and queer history into a haunting exploration of identity, sexuality, and mental health.

Shot at historically haunted sites across America including: Pioneer Village in Salem, Bodie Ghost Town, the Queen Mary, the Washoe Club, and the Stanley Hotel. The series layers erotic intimacy with the supernatural. Where Outlaws in Love chronicled the artist’s queer childhood, Ghosted dives into his adolescence, first relationships, the thrill of early sexual awakening, and his first time being "ghosted".
