Noticed I've been receiving more subs about the circus and let me tell you I AM HERE FOR IT.

Fun fact: I am a rope aerialist. I perform in circus shows often. After reading, circus is my 2nd way of escapism.

Keep them coming! I'm loving all these different takes. Forever #mswl

Seeing a lot of YA in my inbox (which is great), but also really wanting adult projects to fall in love with as well. #MSWL

Check if we'd be a good fit! bit.ly/2JG2BO0

I've been on the hunt for new horror for years now. It's time for a wave of new voices to shake up the genre. Send me your stories. twitter.com/torbooks/statu…

Great thread! #MSWL

I'm still looking for that horror that will keep me reading past midnight

One of the things good gothic fantasy & claustrophobic scary spaceship stories have in common is that they both do setting-as-character well.

Really, any setting can be made to feel like a character. Creepy castle? Floating city? Jungle that *devours* people? YES.

Anyway—#mswl! twitter.com/ellethevillain…

Absolutely a #MSWL for me, as well! Send these to me so I can send them to @Sarah_Guan :)

I’d also specifically love a YA elevated beach read featuring a female/female romance subplot :) #MSWL

While my mswl tweets have asked for a lot of doom and gloom recently, I'm also want some feel-good reads (a la DUMPLIN’ ) or a ms with a romantic comedy thread w/ substance and a fantastic hook. Sometimes I just want to cozy up w/ something that will warm my heart #MSWL

Finally framing this print I got a year ago. Looking for reads that continue to feed my goth girl dreams #mswl

I'm always wanting books with characters and/or premises that have a Tim Burton kind of flair #MSWL

Give me a book that empowers and features characters across all spectrums of life, whether differently-abled, non-white, genderqueer, etc. that reflects reality (diversity shouldn’t be the only plot)

A world where something we take for granted is flipped upside down. Think SMOKE! #mswl

A fantastical world with creatures inspired by Ellen Jewett’s sculptures #mswl

Unique magical realism with a tint of mystery a la BONE GAP #mswl

Literary horror involving a flower shop or greenhouse #mswl

Looking for lesser-known fairy tales reimagined and mythology, folklore, or fables from different parts of the world! #mswl

Young female protagonists that will always put their own needs before a boy (think FOREST OF A THOUSAND LANTERNS) #mswl

Give me a novel as grim as Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery" #mswl

· 12 Jun 2018

#MSWL Finally watched SUPER DARK TIMES! Give me a twisty horror! That was the most unsettling movie I've watched in a long time and I definitely did not see that ending coming...

Happy Birthday, Edward Gorey!

#MSWL A horror novel with lots of reveals inspired by Gorey's work (without the sarcasm)
