(A slight exception to this is that I am a fan of gore & body horror like Ilsa Bick's Ashes trilogy & Wilder Girls. But even those are very character- & setting-driven.)

For adult & YA, I gravitate more toward character-driven horror/fantasy/sci-fi than plot-driven. I prefer dark lit to reflect truths about humanity through relationships & setting over tangible monsters. I don't really get excited about werewolves, vampires, zombies, demons, etc.

Hi #mswl

I'm especially looking for MG Horror submissions (Bonus Points if it's a graphic novel!) #MSWL #kidlit #graphicnovels

Fall is just the perfect time for getting cozy and curling up with a great book. This week my #mswl includes a contemporary gothic horror, a boarding school setting with a twist, and a home/lifestyle/business non fiction that will help us get organized for the new season!

I've been seeing a lot of queries with sophisticated tinges of horror (both YA and adult) and I am Loving it right now! Especially the Gothic horror. Perfect fall reading... #MSWL

Me please but not slashers #mswl

I mean, yes. I keep asking... #MSWL

AGREED. Send it to me, my pretties 😈 #mswl

I grew up reading Fear Street, some Stephen King etc. and watching all the scary movies so horror is always high on my #MSWL

#MSWL this horror novel

Send it to me first!! #mswl

“Hell is a teenage girl”—PLEASE, someone send me a queer, feminist, campy horror novel in the vein of Jennifer’s Body, which I just watched for the first time (because that original marketing campaign, yikes) and omg. #MSWL

YES. PLEASE. #mswl

Yes! All the yeses! I need this! #MSWL

Can someone please write a YA gothic horror novel with a simmering f/f romance about the green ribbon girl? I want it soooooo bad #MSWL

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
