Fairytale but make it horror! Full disclosure I am a bit of a horror wimp but I do love books that scare me so long as there is a crumb of hope for me to cling to. Even if you crush that hope at the end. 😰😰#MSWL
1. My main jam is thrillers and sub-genres. Domestic suspense, psychological thrillers, gothic and supernatural thrillers/horror, etc. I love fast-paced thrillers with high tension and high stakes. Ghosts & haunted houses are a huge draw for me.
Fourth Wing, and Once Upon a Broken Heart.
💀Horror is something I'm exploring more of right now. The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor are the two best comps for me.
😊For YA, I'm looking for JOY and comin of age stories ! Something similar to Heartstopper
YA
- ROMANTASY, needs no explanation methinks (side note - I’d love to see vampires make a comeback)
-keeps me on the edge of my seat THRILLERS, extra points if it includes a good whodunnit
-psychological or supernatural HORROR, that leaves me going to sleep with the light on
While sick, I’ve been binge watching to kick off autumn. If you’ve got a slow-building horror / thriller / mystery with characters you care about like in SIGNS, I want it. Or a book centered on sisterhood, breaking curses, and cozy witchcraft like in PRACTICAL MAGIC, gimme #MSWL
All things horror!! Think Jordan Peele and Scream. I want your psychological, your slasher, your haunted house, your ghosts and hauntings. If it fits under the horror umbrella, I want to see it.
I closed to queries for a while, but I'm baaaack! A quick #MSWL note to celebrate While kidlit will always have my heart, I'm actively trying to build up the adult side of my list—so if you've got thrillers, romcoms, horror, spec and contemp fiction, I wanna see!
#Adult#MSWL :
- LGBTQ+ romance & diverse casts
- romcoms especially!
- enemies to lovers, slow burn, villain/hero, love triangles
- romantasy!
- psychological & cerebral horror with diversity!
- horror that stems from the real world & paranormal
- social commentary!
(4/5)
#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. . .
Horror: The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor are two of my favourite scary shows. I would love something in the same vein. I'm better with ghosts and monsters than I am gore.
I’ve been really wanting to find a truly scary horror, but that isn’t supernatural. Scare the sh*t out of me with things that exist around me everyday. (I will also look at supernatural horror, this is just something I’ve been on the hunt for.)
I will be open to MG, YA, and Adult.
MG - all genres, adventurous and diverse stories w/ high personal stakes, coming of age
YA - all genres, esp. fantasy! Fast paced, lush world building, clever voicey protags, trope-filled!
Adult - LGBTQ+ Romance & Horror #MSWL (cont.)

MG Horror is my most favorite type of horror. Got vibes similiar to OVER THE GARDEN WALL? Yes please! Or if you can comp to any of these titles, please query me: HIDE AND SEEKER by Daka Hermon, THIS APPEARING HOUSE by Ally Malinenko, THE HOUSE THAT WHISPERS by Lin Thompson #MSWL
Flowing into September, here's what I would LOVE to see in my inbox: HORROR!!!! It's spooky time folks, and horror is probably my favorite genre. Let's see if we can tick that genre way up, especially from POC & queer writers. Ghosts are my absolute favorite. #MSWL
