Someone please give me a Pre-Raphaelite inspired fantasy. The yearning, the drama, unparalleled. #MSWL

Petition for there to be more fantasy / horror books and movies with this vibe. Brothers Grimm did the whole sexy immortal witch in the middle of the forest before it was cool and I want more of that.

Is this a #MSWL tweet? Probably.

#MSWL Who must I sell my soul to for a fantasy retelling of A ROOM WITH A VIEW? The manners, the beauty, the romance. The whole book (and movie) feels like you've walked straight into an impressionist painting, and I want that but, like, with magic.

#MSWL inspired by my fourth (possibly fifth) re-watch of A LITTLE CHAOS: cottagecore / goblincore gardening fantasy with lush historical detail and a sweet little romance

I’d sell my soul for a horror rom com with the vibes of Lazlo and Nadja #MSWL

I am begging, begging, for books with this dark, luscious, witchy vibe. #MSWL

These are just a few specifics, but I’m open to any sff! I love grand world-building and multiple POVs. Anything with the feel of a Robin Hobb novel or THE BLACK COAST. I can’t wait to get reading! #MSWL

I want political intrigue! THE GOBLIN EMPEROR is my favourite novel of all time and I’m chasing something that will sweep me away into a strange world of courtly intrigue and political machinations. Fast-paced plotting like THE TETHERED MAGE, send it my way! #MSWL

Multiverses and space opera! I love expansive worlds with a close knit cast of characters, like NOPHEK GLOSS. I love the strange and alien, horror in space, and found family tropes. Another recent favourite of mine was THE SPACE BETWEEN WORLDS. #MSWL

Horror! Folk horror with a creeping sense of atmosphere like THE ONLY GOOD INDIANS and THE TWISTED ONES. I’m fascinated by cults and spooky goings-on and literally anything with a witch. I would love to see some non-Western horror in the style of HIS HOUSE. #MSWL

Dark academia in the vein of NINTH HOUSE and PLAIN BAD HEROINES. Give me dusty tomes, ancient libraries, snarky heroes and anything featuring alchemy. I’m a sucker for some alchemical magic. #MSWL

Romance. All the romance. Gothic, LGBTQIA+, romance in space (hello, WINTER’S ORBIT), unrequited love, erotic kneeling, enemies to lovers. I love ALL THE TROPES. I’d especially love to see some disaster bisexuals in any setting, just being disastrous. #MSWL

Send me your non-Western epic fantasies like THE UNBROKEN and THE JASMINE THRONE. I’m particularly after Islamic and Middle Eastern fantasy that reminds me of home and I have a soft spot for tales featuring djinn. #MSWL
