#MSWL: HORROR. Folk horror. New Weird horror. Social horror (what would a queer Get Out look like?). Feminist body horror (hi Titane). Campy &/or character-driven horror (Motherthing 💙). Literary horror (character + theme + scares, ala Paul Tremblay). Eco-horror. Send it all!

The trailer to our new movie SOMETHING IN THE DIRT:

I love everything these guys do and this looks like another deadset classic. (p.s Benson/Moorhead vibes--let's call that literary new weird--is a #MSWL for me.)

Here's an interview I did late last year, which includes advice re query letter personalization (#querytip) as well as a fairly current #MSWL: darlingaxe.com/blogs/news/boo…

I also took a stab at trying to define what feels like a growing and interesting trend of expansive speculative novels that stretch across timelines and characters. pic.twitter.com/EOxom4tzeq

#MSWL -- speculative epics!

I've updated my #MSWL page: manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/rach…

(I'd love to see more queries from writers in/from Australia!)

Does everyone have a friendship break up that they are low key still upset about years later or

#MSWL I would LOVE to rep a literary novel that follows a slow-burn friendship disintegration from the POV of each friend. Imagine Fates & Furies but for friendship. If you're writing it, get in touch! (Friend break ups are the most hellish worst.)

Cottagecore horror is going to become a huge genre. As the climate crisis worsens and we grow ever more alienated from the natural world, we’re going to start seeing grinning faces in gnarled trees and hearing eldritch gods of the forest in the rustle of autumn leaves.

Yes, and also #mswl

Friend breakups (I mean good, longterm, very close and intimate friendships) are, in my experience, much more emotionally devastating than romantic breakups. And yet, unlike romantic relationships, we have almost no socialization (even in media images) on how to navigate them.

Whoever is doing a Madeleine Miller style treatment of the Cassandra myth I want that in my inbox. It's I can think about as we, place-by-place, scream at our community to stop. going. out. #MSWL

The thing I want when I say climate fiction, eco-fiction, even more than work that imagines futures, is work that grapples with the overwhelming grief & anger, confusion, guilt, of being a person now. It's crushing, & I crave the mirror of fiction. #mswl

· 24 Sep 2019

It's #MSWL day! I want queer, feminist, literary horror that takes elements of being human, plays up the nightmare, and teaches us something about ourselves (think Carmen Maria Machado, FEVER DREAM, THE NEED).

Megan Amram @meganamram

don't forget the ladies of horror this month. watch RAW, written and directed by the effortlessly cool julia ducournau pic.twitter.com/EepKmdvJzP

So many faves in this list! RAW and THE INVITATION esp. Also, women writing horror novels (adult & YA), that's a forever #mswl for me.

Great cli-fi reading list from @lithub. GOLD FAME CITRUS is one of my favorite novels, and I loved Benjamin Warner's THIRST (which needs to be a movie, like, yesterday). Lots to add to my TBR pile, too! lithub.com/the-new-vangua… #MSWL

#MSWL send me this multiple POV psychological suspense / domestic noir

I recently rec'd (& signed) a query that had me suddenly mindful of the small but wasteful habits I've picked up in the name of convenience. Inspired by and seeking work that inspires real-world change #MSWL. (graphic c/o @soumeya_b)

Yup, #MSWL for days: lithub.com/the-bloody-cat…
