Are there any pbs not just on how to say no...but on how to hear no and be okay with it and accept rejection gracefully? Because if not then #mswl

I'd love to see in my queries:

- Atmospheric, woodsy, lush horror like THE YEAR OF THE WITCHING (YA, A)
- Domestic/psychological thrillers by BIPOC authors (A)
- Scavenger hunts (MG, YA, A)
- Eerie spec fic in isolated settings (CATHERINE HOUSE, THE WATER CURE)

National Geographic @NatGeo

A 62-year-old mystery has prompted conspiracies involving Soviet experiments, Yetis, and aliens. Science finally has some answers on.natgeo.com/3oy6fKK

The avalanche explains everything...except the missing eyes, tongue, and clothing of the dead...

This is why my #MSWL asks for stories that use real historical happenings as a basis for supernatural terror (i.e. Alma Katsu's The Hunger & The Deep and the TV series The Terror)!
