Horror of all kinds intrigues me, especially when it’s interweaved with a contemporary, fantasy, folklore, gothic, historical, horrormance, paranormal, psychological, or survival subgenre! I’m also drawn to stories that feature dread, sentient settings & descents into madness

In dark academia manuscripts, I look for atmospheric imagery and genre-blending elements in contemporary, gothic, historical, paranormal, or romantic subgenres. I also love when dark academia veers into magical libraries/museums, secret societies/cults, & mysterious friend groups!

I’m always a sucker for a good romance novel, so here are some things I look for in a romance manuscript. I especially love romance manuscripts with a contemporary, cozy, fantasy, gothic, historical, paranormal, sports, or romcom subgenre.

I also love horror that makes you think, or has surprising emotional depth, in addition to the spookiness. And I have yet to find a really delicious gothic horror. #MSWL

I’m also wanting more regional gothic overall as well as gothic stories that don’t take place in the US. Some media I’ve loved w/ similar vibes: “Preacher’s Daughter” by Ethel Cain; EVE’S BAYOU; MEXICAN GOTHIC by Silvia Moreno-Garcia; I’LL MAKE A SPECTACLE OF YOU by Beatrice Winifred Iker #MSWL

Gothic Horror! This will be a thread bc I love this genre. First up, I desperately desire more southern gothic by Black authors and especially if it comps to SINNERS (I’m not really the one to try if you’re just comping it for a book with vampires) & the IWTV show. #MSWL

I have a soft spot for Southern Gothic. Especially from/about POC. And I don’t mean just tossing a side character who practices hoodoo/voodoo into a mostly white story. *side eyes Hollywood* #MSWL
