Always intrigued by stories told over one night like We Are the Wildcats, or thrillers over one night, like a #YA version of Survive the Night. #MSWL

I’m REALLY looking for mystery/thrillers/suspense in both the YA and adult space, ESPECIALLY from marginalized populations. However, I am not the right fit for law enforcement protagonists or love interests.

"Psychological thrillers with new twists on my favorite classic tropes: unstable (or unhinged) narrators, missing memories or time, seemingly decent people with dark pasts, stalking, gaslighting in any form."

Suspense/Mystery/Thriller set at a vacation destination #mswl

Gloomy, threatening, or naturally dangerous settings can go a long way in a thriller. But there’s something terrifying about bad things happening in beautiful, “safe” locations we associate w/ escape. This is a #mswl tweet but also promo for YOU CAN TRUST ME by @wendydheard

I want an escapist book that gives me the same feeling I get watching White Lotus. Fantastic characters, a gripping plot, and a fabulous location. maybe it’s a thriller, maybe it’s a drama, maybe it’s a little bit of both, maybe it’s something else entirely! #mswl

YA/NA #MSWL: although sci-fi is still tough, I always say things in publishing are tough but not impossible.

I’d love a BIPOC grounded sci-fi mystery/thriller that can be comp’d to DEVS/Tales From The Loop/The OA.

deviously twisty plot or terrifying antagonist. Generally, the darker the better for his taste, but he's open to all areas.

Books he loves in this area: Gone Girl (obviously), The Chestnut Man, The Hunting Party, Falling, Slow Horses, The Couple at Number 9. (3/5)
