When there's something strange in your neighborhood and Dan Aykroyd is busy, there's plenty of competing ghost busters available to take on your ectoplasmic problems.  Investigating the things that go bump is a time-honored profession in fiction and gets much better results than the static-y recordings and suspicious temperature drops we get from our modern day "ghost hunters."  Strap yourself in for spooks of all sorts in these 8 anime. 1. Natsume's Book of Friends  Natsume's Book of Friends is full of many, many friends. The series has its sixth season slated for this year where audiences will again follow Takashi Natsume on his quest to free all the spirits contracted in his deceased grandma's book.  His ongoing quest puts him up against both dangerous and friendly yōkai that he must fight or otherwise calm so they can be free.  In the meantime, Natsume also meets new people and rectify what had previously been a lonely li

“Adventure Time 2013 Spooktacular” is an anthology of spooky holiday stories by Jones Wiedle, Bryce Carlson, Jay Hosler, Kevin Church, Frazer Irving and Jen Vaughn, who have uniformly produced excellent short stories for this holiday special. “Costume Party” by Jones Wiedle is an Ice King story that manages to be sentimental and heart-warming without being cloying. The plot climax has a good twist in its show of generosity of spirit from an unlikely quarter. It is the bounciest of all the stories, with a hilarious sequence in which the funniest line is “He even smells like cabbage, just like the real thing.” It’s only a Halloween story in a casual sense, with a classic or familiar plot, but it feels more fresh and fun that it should, because Wiedle’s execution is breezy and charming. It’s also a smart choice story to lead into the anthology with because Wiedle’s art style is closest to the cartoon’s and will be friendly to new readers. “Secret Stache” by Bryce Carlson and Frazer I

Turn the traditional fairy tale tropes topsy-turvy in this lavishly illustrated storybook as Spooky explores her dark, enchanted world. Once upon a time, in the heart of the kingdom of Fairy Tales, a king and queen had the strangest of children… Spooky! And when uncles the Three Little Pigs offer a trip to their London hotel, Spooky trades one improbable setting for another! Monster Inn shines a charming, childish light on contemporary goth culture for a rich and unique story that’s out of this world.  

It starts with a cold-blooded murder. The first story in the new anthology from Bedside Press, Gothic Tales of Haunted Love, makes it very clear that this book is not messing around. In “Crush” by Janet Hetherington, Ronn Sutton, Becka Kinzie and Zakk Samm, a young woman arrives at a seaside manor, excited to start her new job as a governess to too many children. She’s swept up into the arms of their gruff, burly dad, and the caption tells us that “her life will never be the same.” But our heroine isn’t a Jane Eyre, destined to help him towards moral reform. She has no patience for his bad behavior. And as a black woman from Bermuda, he makes it clear that she doesn’t even register as a prospect to him. If anything, her destiny, if this were a typical gothic romance, is more likely to be Bertha Mason-Rochester, locked in the attic while her shiftless man romances the new governess. But this book starts with a murder — and not hers. RELATED: Gothic Tales of Haunted Love Aims to Revi
