One more #mswl I am a sucker for undiscovered worlds on dangerous species underground in cave systems. Properly obsessed.

Willow is awesome. I love a good quest in fantasy.

This is definitely a #mswl

#mswl I am really into my gothic horror at the moment. Especially if you can comp Crimson Peak, Nothing but Blackened Teeth, or Dracula.

#mswl always anything set at sea.

#mswl a horror or thriller set on an oil rig.

This vibe is a definite #mswl

It gives Maleficent/ Charlize Theron in Snow White and the Huntsman vibes and I am here for them. Give me a fantasy from the POV of an evil queen where the beautiful princess is just annoying and does not win the hearts of the people/ love interest.

#MSWL Still would love a book featuring a volcano/ natural disasters.

Would also accept secret underground volcanic lairs. With or without sharks in pools. With is better though. (But this may be a bit too specific).

#MSWL something like the Goonies for the YA market. (Yes, I am watching it as we speak).

#mswl I would like books set in snowy places. Give me your Alaskan and Siberian landscapes. Set books in Canada. And give me the Arctic and Antarctic. Please!!!!

#mswl please.

#mswl haunted ghost ships!!!!

#mswl I would really like some old haunted mansions style ghost stories. Particularly thinking James Herbert or Cassandra Khaw's Nothing but Blackened Teeth. The Haunted Mansion bit is key though. I want atmosphere.

Feel free to email rather than wait for me to open to queries.

#mswl vampires but Dracula rather than Twilight.

Think old, gothic, terrifying, and I'd be happy with three hot vampire women in it as well.

#mswl horror/thriller/ action & adventure about diving on a sunken ship or based in an underwater habitat.

#MSWL Nature fighting back. Especially if it's in an extreme environment and you add in very angry animals/ insects.

#mswl

I would love some locked room mysteries/ thrillers.

YA/ Adult Horror like Kiersten White’s Hide, Kathryn Foxfield’s books, or Clown in a Cornfield.

Giant sharks/ cryptid books.

I am probably going to open back up to queries before the New Year but I am going to narrow the genres I'm looking for this time. So please consider this my #mswl list (which I will update).

I will be opening to Action & Adventures.

Books set in extreme environments.

#MSWL A thriller set in an isolated town. If it is snowed in, or there is a flood or storm coming, even better.

#MSWL a book about mountain climbing (fiction).

#MSWL a book set in the Arctic/Antarctic. I would be happy to have this as a Historical novel (think explorers).
