Y'all, are vampires coming back?

Ok, so I was a huge vampire person when I was younger. I'm kind of over vampires, but I know they are coming back, so #mswl if you have super evil vampires I'll take a look! Scary horror vampires! Or how about two evil vampires who try to kill each other and then fall in love?

I like horror with supernatural monsters/creatures. I'd especially like one like this... #mswl pin.it/4sjsjt2j7lxdnp

Also, does anyone have a YA historical horror MS? Please query me. All the better if it's gothic and queer. #MSWL

If you have a fantasy or a sci-fi or a thriller with horror elements, I really really really want to read it #mswl

It may seem like I only like really dark stuff, but my favorite kind of horror is ultimately hopeful. I want to see people face their fears and win. Make impossible choices and survive. Rescue each other and rescue themselves. #MSWL

I’d love to see more/better mental illness rep in horror. As an anxious person, I’d particularly kill to see protagonists dealing with panic attacks and anxiety while having to fight for their lives.

Hiding from a monster? Better hope you don’t start hyperventilating 🙃 #MSWL

I'd sell my soul for a post-apocalyptic thriller/horror novel where the protagonist (or a POV character) breaks their glasses and has to survive without them #MSWL

Give me more horror novels that tackle modern-day anxieties in fresh, unique ways. Basically, write me a book @JordanPeele would be super into and secretly mad at you for beating him to it #MSWL

I desperately want more LGBTQ+ characters and themes in horror. Give me LGBTQ+ protagonists grappling with gender and sexuality while also dealing with monsters/ghosts/murderers/etc. #MSWL

Some general info:
- I’m currently only accepting agented submissions
- I’m very actively seeking adult horror for #Nightfire, so that’s my priority
- BUT I’m open to YA horror, and adult and YA fantasy, scifi, and thrillers as well

I also love mysteries and thrillers that gravitate towards dark horror elements, like THE WHISPER MAN. One of my top reads so far this year. #MSWL

I've been on a #horror kick and would love some more in my inbox. I tend to gravitate towards psychological horror, or ghost stories. #MSWL

Think Jennifer McMahon, Hill House, Paul Tremblay.
I'm not one for demons and creatures or what have you.

SUPER SPECIFIC HORROR IDEA. Has anyone ever seen Thirteen Ghosts? A super cheesy movie about people that get stuck in a house full of 13 serial killer ghosts. I LOVE IT. I want a YA based on it. #mswl

As always, I'm looking for YA across all genres.

I'm especially looking for LGBTQ+ reads and smart horror.

See (and buy!) the collected works of @Kim_Liggett @tomryanauthor and @AdamSilvera for great comps. #MSWL

Give me creepy, whether YA or Adult. I'll keep asking for horror until I get it! Less gore and more psychological #MSWL
