I’m a big David Cronenberg girlie, so I’m always on the lookout for body horror and/or weird psychosexual horror. Gimme that freaky shit ala CRASH, THE CELL, or HELLRAISER and POSSESSION. I’m also down for thrillers ala BASIC INSTINCT #MSWL

By "surreal," I mainly mean books that feel like SFF but technically aren't-- I'd love a project that takes place on a reality TV set, or largely on the internet, regardless of whether it has other speculative elements. AMATKA is an all-time favorite book.

Also looking for stylish nonfiction in the vein of Alex Marzano-Lesnevish's The Fact of a Body, Maggie's Smith's You Could Make This Place Beautiful, and Matthew Zapruder's The Story of a Poem.

My dream project would be MILDRED, a biography of Pope Leo's mother. (I'm generally fascinated by the Catholic Church, which I find to be both gothic and life-giving.) A favorite book is Skinfolk by Matthew Pratt Guterl.

I am especially looking for essay collections and cultural criticism that combat MAGA and AI culture by inviting readers to wonder, dream, and build a culture of encounter. At a time of scale, spectacle, and predictability, I like stories that are quiet, surprising, strange, and unruly. #MSWL

It's #MSWL Day! As always, I'm looking for speculative and surreal fiction for adults, and I like it smart, fun, and weird.

Right now, I'm especially in the mood for:

- well-researched historical settings
- classic-mystery structures
- books with a coherent moral/political point of view
