Reminder that spooky is for all year round, not just for October. Agents, send me your horror books #MSWL

Editor
dying to see some subglacial lake horror in my inbox. I mean come on, Lake Vostok is a lake under Antarctica and it's been hidden for millions of years? that's nightmare fuel. what's living down there? #MSWL

Editor
#MSWL for a horror involving paintings that look normal upon first glance but when you peer closer there is something strange about that figure in the background, something otherworldly. . .

Editor
cozy horror bakery #MSWL

Editor
would love to read a horror submission about the βthird man effectβ itβs wonderfully creepy and could be really heartfelt too #MSWL

Editor
not a week goes by that I donβt think about this painting. the human feet. the shawl. the smoke rising from the chimney. the crevice in the tree. the way the grass looks like waves I can almost hear it. whatever this kind of horror is, I want it #MSWL

Editor
I want sporror (spore-horror, is this a thing) #MSWL

Editor
Agents, I'm keen to see more horror from POC and queer authors! Especially keen on any folk, possession or deep-sea horror from a non-Western perspective. #MSWL

Editor
Extremely niche #MSWL: a supernatural deep sea horror about the 'Julia' sound, iykyk

Editor
Two types of horror that I'm especially keen to see in my submissions inbox: nautical and deep sea in the vein of INTO THE DROWNING DEEP and academic horror that reminds me of THE HISTORIAN. #MSWL

Editor
Faith doesn't necessarily feel like a popular theme in SFF these days, but I am always interested in novels that deal with it. Whether it's religious horror, positive representations of Islam in high fantasy, or nuns in space, send it my way #MSWL

Editor
I would love to see a horror submission that takes inspiration from the Great God Pan - give me unearthly awakenings, sinister horned gods and eerie woodlands #MSWL

Editor
Oh no I have one more for now: Pre-Raphaelite inspired fantasy, sf or horror

So is this cozy horror + steamy romance business already a thing or we just doin it? If youβve got any recs Iβd love to have them. I personally love books like Paladinβs Grace but I think it falls more into a dark fantasy category than horrorβ¦?Cosy horror + steamy romance is definitely on my #MSWL

Editor
Agents, I'm back from holidays and ready to read! Send me your comfort sff, sprawling worlds, delicious romance and creepy horror! #MSWL

Editor

Editor
Although it petrifies me, I desperately want a horror with this vibe. Nothing is worse than the unknown terror of what swims beneath you, older than any man. #MSWL

Editor
β¨EXCITING NEWS!β¨I'm so delighted that I'm now a Commissioning Editor at @orbitbooks! Please keep sending me your SFF and horror!!

anyone who liked Ready or Not and also vampires NEEDS to watch the trailer for The Invitation...I am so very hypedactually this is a #MSWL tweet because I would love a vampire horror novel with Ready or Not / The Most Dangerous Game vibes

Editor
I want to read more horror with this surreal, dark fairytale vibe. The kind of horror that entrances you as much as it terrifies you. #MSWL
