What I do love to see in the YA Contemporary field are thrillers, hauntings that can toe the line of horror without going overboard, rom-coms, friendship break ups, and grandparent relationships. I especially love to see all this with BIPOC and/or LGBTQIA+ characters. #mswl

This is why I don’t like mindless jump scare slasher horror—but why I ADORED The Haunting of Hill House.

This is BEAUTIFULLY said. ❤️ twitter.com/dongwon/status…

Why I’m still looking for my Hauntin of Hill House. ❤️ #MSWL

I keep thinking about how badly I want to read more smart, unnerving YA horror.

I don't want gore. I want a story that makes me ask questions that I don't want an answer to. #MSWL

ALL OF THIS. ALL. OF. THIS. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 #MSWL

"There are new literary voices we want to bring to our reading communities and followers… [and] we just plain love horror.”

Get ready for Nightfire, a horror imprint from Tom Doherty Associates, with new books coming in 2021:

YES. Where’s those horror manuscripts at?! Not the slasher/gruesome ones though... Think more Bird Box, A Quiet Place, Paranormal Activity, etc... #mswl
