What makes the best horror? The unknown. We don’t need monsters that go bump in the night because we are the monsters. Show me the evil darkness of humanity. What do I actually mean?

Transgender, LGBTQIA horror.

Some fave authors (besides my own!) are Stephen Graham Jones, Sheridan Le Fanu, Octavia Butler, Alma Katsu, Erika T. Wurth, Waubgeshig Rice, Cherie Dimaline.

I’ve been feeling survival horror in the vein of ALL THE WHITE SPACES. Give me isolation, hauntings, nature vs humanity, cli-fi, upmarket. Think EVENT HORIZON without the sci-fi. IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS is another good one. Also, horror from marginalized voices: #mswl

What am I looking for? HORROR and NONFICTION ! My #mswl thread:

Still would really love a charismatic con artist who is not a man. The kind of dastardly, charming fictional character you fall in love with, but would never want to be around in real life. #mswl

When I say I want complicated sibling relationships, I don't mean like there is a sibling and some minor conflict. I mean like... sisters who kill for each other, brothers who are spy vs spy, siblings saving a failing business, etc

Those are just kinda holes in my list I'd like to fill.

Still would love to find a really authentic small (4 way stop kind!) town setting, where the setting has a huge impact on the characters and the plot

It's #mswl for @TheTobiasAgency! My wishlist and other info can always be found at sarahnfisk.com, but I thought I'd highlight a couple things.

I'm especially looking to find adult romance, contemporary ya, and some fun MG right now. Not that I'm not open to others!

Stefanie Rossitto #MSWL: would love to see more stories around a mature group of diverse female friends!

#MSWL--I'd love adult fiction and kidlit about people from different cultures/backgrounds cooperating to achieve important goals.

#MSWL, I'd love to see more thriller/mystery/suspense novels with really unique and unusual protagonists--I'd love to see protagonists who are not current or ex-law enforcement agents; unusual people at the center of a mystery please!

Also I blame @chatgreenfield for why I can't stop thinking about a teen in cozy mystery. Maybe murder at the quilting club, or underground grandma karaoke goes awry.

Side note, I am a huge fan of the TRULY DEVIOUS novels so you can also see the influence there #MSWL

I want an Anne and Gilbert romance because let's just acknowledge the epic tropes here.

Also that slate smashing scene is still 🤌🤌 #MSWL

I want a YA book that brings these vibes to the table: color, summer, fun. #MSWL

I want a cozy magic, witchy book. I want hygge but in a contemporary fantasy book. #MSWL

Cosplay Medic #MSWL

And jumping off mermaids: PROFESSIONAL MERMAIDS. Have you all seen the people who make the super realistic mermaid tales? Or do you know there mermaid meet ups? Or that you can take a class to learn to swim like a mermaid (it's a scuba diving class) #MSWL

Mermaids. I know I am picky, but I know the mermaid story for me is out there.

It'll be atmospheric, mermaids won't talk under water, hell it might not even be set in the water. #MSWL

I want a Ren Faire Book. The turkey legs, the shenanigans, the tarot cards, the BANDS #MSWL
