3. Gothic & Southern gothic fiction in YA & adult (Does anyone have a Rebecca comp for me?)

Hot gothic romance with monsters or ghosts? HEA/HFN 50-75K Adult or NA only. Send it please! QueryManager.com/LisaGreenQueri… #MSWL

“Gothic fiction with possibly a modern storyline, too (like THE LITTLE STRANGER by Sarah Waters).” @carlywatters #MSWL psliterary.com/submissions/

A few specific #mswl bits I'm on the hunt for at the moment: character-driven sci-fi (THE LAST WATCH), gothic horror (THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE), immersive mystery (Attica Locke's Highway 59 series), and journalistic nonfiction (Patrick Radden Keefe is a favorite).

I am almost caught up with queries! 😲 In addition to what I have highlighted in my #mswl, I'd love to see more captivating historical fiction as well as gothic fiction. Cozy culinary mysteries too! #HF #GF #amquerying #writingcommunity QueryManager.com/QueryLoriGalvin

• gothic and horror in MG, YA, and Adult that haunts you with its writing as much as the subject matter (not one for gratuitous gore)

• contemporary fantasy with fresh hooks, strong character dynamics, immersive worlds, & romance subplots.

In YA: Gothic or horror as long as it’s not too gory. I especially love atmospheric settings and psychological horror/suspense. #MSWL 5/7

11: Southern Gothic, and/or other regional twists on the genre. Comps: SING UNBURIED SING and the forthcoming SUMMER SONS. Neo-Gothic, like WHITE IS FOR WITCHING.

Horror! Things that keep me awake at night! If it can comp to MEXICAN GOTHIC or Hill House/Bly Manor (or Pan's Labyrinth, my perennial fave), I want to see it! #mswl

I am totally into @Servant on @AppleTV
which is dark & twisted & surprising & modern & deliciously gothic. Writers, I'd love to find a book project that gives me similar feels. #MSWL

Once again, I am opening my heart to horror, my first true love. Please give me psychological and creepy, gothic, thrillery, moody and atmospheric, dark. Think Lovecraft Country and Crimson Peak. Get my heart racing, make me hesitant to turn the page. But no gore. #MSWL

I'd like to see something that's a cross between The Haunting of Brynn Wilder and Mexican Gothic. Women's fiction with a lush, gothic setting that's creepy, but doesn't cross quite as far into horror. #MSWL

I would also like this. Give this to me #mswl

Would love to read something dark and gothic and black and witchy that feels like Prudence Blackwood x Ambrose Spellman meets Only Lovers Left Alive #mswl

Looking for a Gothic story, especially if it’s #ownvoices! With a wrenching romance. I need this in my inbox 👀 #MSWL

In fiction I’d love to see high concept love stories for both commercial and reading group/literary crossover readers. I’m keen to see historical fiction and gothic horror - think Stacey Halls, Laura Purcell and Bridget Collins.

If your book comps to MEXICAN GOTHIC, I want to read it. #mswl

Your magical realism, horror and gothic. I love atmospheric voices and settings. Think Nova Ren Suma, Rory Power, Claire Legrand, Laura Ruby, April Genevieve Tucholke
