Eternally here for YA Rosemary's Baby. Not in the super-natural sense, but in the social horror sense. #MSWL

I keep thinking about how badly I want to read more smart, unnerving YA horror.I don't want gore. I want a story that makes me ask questions that I don't want an answer to. #MSWL
This 100%.
Examples like the ones Eric gives in his thread are often what I refer to when I say I want dark stories. Make me question things. Tip and break my reality into pieces.

#MSWL “I don’t think people understand how much kids like horror right now.” Quote from my 13yo son. So send me #YA horror pls. #MG horror is going strong now (head nods at @saskwriter). YA needs to make a big shelf—these kids are growing up. I *think* it could be the next trend.

I know we are at the time of year when many agents close to queries for summer, but I plan to remain open because I am too hungry for new projects.As for my summer #MSWL give me creepy hiking/camping mysteries or horrors. Maybe a summer trip gone horribly, dangerously wrong.

A Quick Update for my YA #MSWL:
I'm full on YA F, my requests for that are much less.
I'd still love a clever YA SF. I love high concept and fresh takes w/ a literary edge and great voice.
For YA Thr & Horror, again w/ fresh takes & great voices
+YA Historicals w/ literary edge

So, I mention that I like horror of the downright creepy variety. This will give you a sense of what that would be. As soon as I saw the trailer for this game I almost evil laughed 😉 👻💀 supermassivegames.com/games/man-of-m… #MSWL #YAhorror #ghostship #manofmedan @SuperMGames
