For mystery, I'm craving a Golden Age-inspired mystery but with a dark/bleak plot - Agatha meets Tana #MSWL

main character unknowingly makes a mistake ★★★★★main character is fully aware of the extent of the shitstorm that will ensue from making this undoubtedly poor decision but plunges headfirst because feelings! convictions! foresight is overrated! ★★★★★★★★★★★★★
Yessss this is also a thing that I enjoy. Send me your messy, feelingsy characters who can't resist blowing up their own lives so that I can love them. 💥🤗 #mswl

I'd love an #ownvoices upmarket 20th C historical fiction - ideally with a secret something that has to be revealed (I'm thinking ala Lovecraft Country without the Lovecraftian horror/fantasy elements, which is ridiculous to say but I want it) #MSWL

Megan Manzano ~ Reopening to Queries 10/05 @Megan_Manzano
Since I'll be reopening to queries on 10/05, here is my official manuscript wishlist that has been updated!manuscriptwishlist.com/mswl-post/mega…
However I did promise a thread of what I'm looking for so here we go!
Countdown #MSWL Day 1:
My list does skew towards YA so I'd love MG everything!
Particuarly stories that begin to explore identity and sexuality. Especially with first crushes.

I don’t want military or political thrillers. Think more psychological or something that leans more to the literary side.
For the first time I am expanding my #MSWL to include thrillers. I am super picky with what I like, but if you write along the lines of YOU, SHARP OBJECTS, or THE WIFE BETWEEN US please send it my way.
What I would really find special would be a destination horror. For example, the Island of the Dolls in Mexico City would be an amazing setting. Give me more that the typical US spots. The darker, creepier, and more gothic it is...the better.
My favorite horror is definitely more psychological. Real people becoming monsters—Ma, Us, and Get Out are perfect examples of this.
Truth be told I love campy, tropey horror. Some favorite campy movies of are Cabin in the Woods and Evil Dead.
Happy Wednesday! Horror is a HUGE want for my #MSWL when I reopen tomorrow. I am searching for smart, spooky, atmospheric stories in MG, YA, and adult.
