On horror romance specifically, it can be tragic, no HEA necessary but for all other forms I need an HEA. For sci-fi: I want Event Horizon, political intrigue and first contact (but in the way Arrival did it)

Monsters, historical, trans and POC horror, horror romance, space survival. Onto fantasy: give me epic, political, sweeping and expansive. Murder mysteries at court, backstabbing gentry, fantasy of manners…

Horror! Proper, stop me from sleeping horror! Not for the general fic reader! I want aquatic, cults, folk, haunted house, urban legends, creepypastas, backrooms, religious sects, ‘is this still consecrated ground’ vibes, eldritch, cosmic, isolation, ‘good for her’, found footage,

#MSWL for isolation horror about the prairie fever, aka the horror of the never ending flat plains

please someone send me a Backrooms flavoured horror on sub, I've been desperate for something in this space for ages. Give me liminal, uncanny nostalgia horror #MSWL

All of this is in addition to seeing anything that’s fantasy romance and fantasy horror, of course, but I wanted to dedicate a special thread to the above topics since I’m not seeing as much love in my subs list for them right now.

For sci-fi horror, I love it all. Creepy sentient alien spaceships, Event Horizon vibes, The Luminous Dead, The Last Astronaut,The Thing, The Descent, Underwater - give it to me…

I love seeing djinn on the page, Muslim characters as heroes. I love settings that feel like feudal Japan, or that have that Blue Eyed Samurai vibe. And anything that feels like epic fantasy x horror. And DRAGONS, always dragons.

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

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

#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. . .

cozy horror bakery #MSWL

would love to read a horror submission about the ‘third man effect’ it’s wonderfully creepy and could be really heartfelt too #MSWL

not a week goes by that I don’t 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

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

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

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

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

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

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
