#MSWL , always: horror and thriller set in the spaces that the ultrawealthy carve out to risk their lives (and the lives of those they consider disposable) for status. You know, apropos of nothing in particular.

#mswl literary fiction, for me, is all about meeting new people to get trapped inside for a while - i dearly love a close-perspective novel that can share shelf space with ottessa moshfegh and elif batuman. some i'm still thinking about from the past few years!

#mswl f/f hannibal. speculative killing eve. literature that capitalizes on our cultural rehabilitation of jennifer's body. like, i sincerely love the Claustrophobic Female Friendships niche in horror & thriller & dread-fuelled litfic but let's take it the extra gay mile.

yes of course i want all your GIDEON THE NINTH comps (my twin passions are dynamism of voice + gay girls with horrible little personalities) BUT the all-lyctor extra-dark academia supercut is the real #mswl

with all due respect to the totally understandable flush of kpop boy group romances, where is my #ownvoices kpop girl group thriller, give me the full frances cha here - the wealth of cultural knowledge, the sharp eye towards beauty, commodity, and performed intimacy #mswl

as we live through ever-more-horrific class differentiation irl i've been dying for some fricassee-the-rich horror about how claustrophobic and hideous most retreats of the wealthy are if you think about them for 2 seconds. house of usher on a private island or yacht when? #mswl

#mswl medieval fantasy with the green knight energy, i.e. the true spirit of the source texts: effortlessly weird, dazzling and grand in its sensory language, horny as shit.

Pivoting from eating among the rich to just plain eating the rich (particularly while we’re on the subject of Forbidden Meat Rooms) I’m always looking for luxury foodie horror. #mswl - with uncompromising social commentary, with sharp wit, and with a strong stomach
