Finally saw Midsommar last weekend. Still thinking about this scene.

What I loved about it is that the horror is always out in the open. There's no dark. You can't turn away. And what's scariest sometimes is what you can see and not ignore.

Yes! I would like to see more surreal/sci-fi/folk horror #YA because WILDER GIRLS is bloody awesome. I want more of what Aykut Aydoğdu, who painted the cover & this below, captures in his art: that unique feeling of teenage dread & disquiet. #MSWL

Closed a couple deals last week we’ll be able to announce about when Miles starts college, but in the meantime let me just say this: I want more horror and I want more graphic novels. 🤫 #mswl

Me reading a query that promises a YA thriller, blending humor and horror, from a POC, and comps brand new media, and shows engagement with the convo within contemporary teen lit. #MSWL

Middle grade: Horror, but in a creepy, atmospheric, @kennethoppel THE NEST kind of way. #MSWL
