Set in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, Corpus Calvin brilliantly unravels the haunting of the Cloverkist Inn from several points of view, including a gay visitor from Amsterdam, a sensitive ten-year-old boy, the diary of a Union Soldier, and the inner thoughts of a dog named Calvin.

Who are the Pumpkin People?—that propel this thrilling exploration into local legends.

From Jameson's list on ghost stories with gay characters.
