late night #mswl but things I would love to see more of in my inbox:
- speculative circuses and carnivals, esp with a historical/gothic thread
- *actual* dark academia, not just campus settings
- cowboys, esp if ft. gothic vibes
- cli-fi horror
thank youuuuuu 👻💕
Literary Assistant
in terms of GENRES and NARRATIVES, I love:
- historical, particularly 19th and 20th century and particularly focused on international, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ stories
- alternate history
- dark academia
- horror and gothic
- character-led literary fiction

As it’s non-binary awareness week, may I remind you all about the Public Universal Friend (1752-1819) who in 1776 had an experience that led them to renounce their birth name and gendered pronouns for the rest of their life: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Un…pls pls pls #mswl for a historical novel about this fascinating character!!!

tbh ... a historical fiction intrigue novel that has the vibes and grit and tragedy of Brel's Dans Le Port D'Amsterdam ... I want it #mswl

just want more dark academia storylines tbh ... more Secret History, murdery, lush and twisty stories set against the backdrop of stifling academia, bonus points if it's historical (1940s or 60s would be fascinating, pls) ty and good night #mswl
