#MSWL Horror! I'm still loving horror of all flavors, but I’d love to see more high concept horror that turns tropes on their head to stand out amongst the crowd

#MSWL Genre-bending with a stellar one-line hook! I adore reading surprising genre mashups, especially in the fantasy, SF, and horror spaces, or something fun like HOW TO KILL A GUY IN TEN DATES

This is a high priority for me in YA in particular!

I would love a really smart kind of island horror like Hemlock Island by Kelley Armstrong. #MSWL

I like 19th and 20th century historical fiction, especially if it's combined with another genre, like mystery, speculative or horror. #MSWL

I enjoy books with a psychological bent, whether it's psychological horror, a nonfiction book about psychology, or just a book with really rich characters. #MSWL

#MSWL I'm over winter and ready for some summer vibes in my reading. Romance? Yes! Horror? Yes! Give me two people falling in love at the beach or bad things happening at summer camp. I'm open!

I'm drawn to books about nature, whether it's a creepy YA horror novel set at summer camp or a narrative nonfiction book about the environment. #MSWL

First up on my #MSWL is a postapocalyptic romance where the romance is just as important to the stakes as the end of the world itself. Bonus points for dark / black humor!

Am also looking for dark romance / horror romance more broadly, but nothing w/ stalker vibes or questionable consent for me.

#mswl in YA fiction, i'd love:

Historical fiction set outside the US/Western Europe.

Scholarship kids at old-money schools.

Bubblegum thrillers and queer horror.

2010s-style dystopias with marginalized teens at the forefront.

Animated Barbie movie vibes (bonus points for fairies or mermaids).

I love a good noir voice, and am always on the lookout for speculative takes on mystery romance (Twin Peaks meets The Big Sleep). If I'm not reading romance I'm reading horror and weird fiction: some recent faves include We Love You, Bunny, The Starving Saints, and The Salt Grows Heavy.

I'd like to see quirky horror and more serious horror. Think social commentary rather than slasher. Horror with romance--though everyone is looking for that. Feminist horror. Folk lore horror. #MSWL
