· Atmospheric horror that forms a cold sweat on my body like a second skin. I want to forget that I’m in my bed or at my desk. Make me want to look up from my shoulder but I can’t because I’m too captivated by your pages to move.

I would love to see this in any of the above age categories, especially if it is fantasy, sci fi or horror. I love manga art styles too! I'd also be open to retellings here esp set in modern day! 10/?

Adult/YA Horror:

I will say it takes A LOT to scare me. If you're story can keep me up at night 👀! I want monsters, sentient settings and scares that mess with your mind! I want MCs that can't trust what they see or reality is so blurred they can't tell the difference! 8/?
