I would love to see more historical horror/supernatural. I also like taking something familiar that is fairly benign on the surface and twisting into horror/supernatural: a sorority, academia, sports-culture, wedding, college admissions, real estate horror, etc. #MSWL

Supernatural/horror that gives robust consideration to how humans react to magical elements around them, and of course, twists on familiar tropes. #MSWL

Dark fantasy or magical realism à la Pan’s Labyrinth is another love of mine. I love that creepy, ethereal feel of magical realism and folklore mixed with a dash of horror. #MSWL

I’m a big David Cronenberg girlie, so I’m always on the lookout for body horror and/or weird psychosexual horror. Gimme that freaky shit ala CRASH, THE CELL, or HELLRAISER and POSSESSION. I’m also down for thrillers ala BASIC INSTINCT #MSWL

#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!

#MSWL Witches! In all kinds of stories. Cozy, dark, horror, romance, historical, mystery, dual timelines, literally whatever you got, I want to see it.

I enjoy all manner of horror novels: psychological horror, cosmic horror, folk horror, horror-romance, horror-comedy, ghosts, etc. #MSWL

Happy manuscriptwishlist.bsky.social #MSWL Day! Check out my wishlist HERE: serarivers.com/mswl/ I have a lot of wishes on my list, but I'm most eager for #subversive #horror in the vein of Jordan Peele and work by marginalized creators! I'm open to adult #fiction #queries 1st 7 days each month

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).
