Psst. I've also publicly gone on record I'd love a vampire book. So yeah, put me down for black vampires, too! #mswl

Feeling thirsty for fiction. #MSWL today: rich writing, propulsive plot. Gothic or speculative (not straight-up sci-fi/fantasy). Immersive.

Lastly, I'm still very much looking for a damn good speculative thriller: Think THE ROOK, NIGHT FILM, and THE FIREMAN. #mswl

#MSWL weird, maybe magical / speculative but also maybe not amazing YA a la BONE GAP or THE WALLS AROUND US or MORE HAPPY THAN NOT
