I'd love to find more popcorn thrillers and books you'd find at Walmart or Target for my query queue! I'm also looking for some horror, but more psychological like Hidden Pictures, The Outsider, stuff by CJ Tudor, Jenniefer McMahon! #MSWL

Stories that feature a strong romantic element

Morally gray MCs are my speed in the thriller space

Stories that are feminist and intersectional

Strong romantic arcs, sharp banter, and a joyful tone even when exploring grief or growth

Any retelling “but make it gay” #mswl 6/6

I would ***love*** to see supernatural YA thrillers and mysteries like these! #MSWL

"I'm seeking supernatural and psychological thrillers."
alexandragrana.bsky.social #MSWL

A mystery/thriller with a speculative element built into the premise rather than used to explain things at the end (For example, Wrong Place, Wrong Time) #MSWL

I would love a mystery/crime/psychological thriller set in Shanghai, Mumbai or another densely populated city besides NYC and London (not opposed to novels set in NYC/London or somewhere less densely populated, but I am also very much on the hunt for settings beyond that). #MSWL

I am particularly on the hunt for horror-comedy, even something a bit campy (Patricia Wants to Cuddle, Bless Your Heart). Same goes for humor in mystery/psychological thrillers (Dial A for Auntie, Finlay Donovan, etc). Would be very open to a mash-up of a funny horror amateur-sleuth too #MSWL

Happy #MSWL day!! My wishlist is attached, but here is what I’m looking for: adult romantasy, horror, and thrillers with gorgeous voice, well-paced action, and characters that are flawed and real. Please use QueryTracker only to submit!

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

I’m always looking for a great voice! Particularly looking for fantasy / romantasy, paranormal, mystery, thriller…and always happy to be surprised! #MSWL

I’m always looking for a great voice! Particularly looking for fantasy / romantasy, paranormal, mystery, thriller…and always happy to be surprised! #MSWL

I love all manner of mysteries: literary suspense, noir, historical, psychological thrillers, cozies, etc. #MSWL

Mystery / suspense / thrillers are always on my #MSWL . I love immersive settings that drive the plot and psychological stories that employ well-worn tropes in new and interesting ways.

Some perennial favorites: Liz Moore, S. A. Cosby, Tana French, Mary Kubica, Ashley Elston, Kimi Cunningham Grant

#mswl and in either YA or adult, some of my conceptual 'white whales' include:

Afrofuturism in the vein of Octavia Butler or Rivers Solomon

Zany, (anti-)historical fiction, like My Lady Jane or Glorious Exploits

Anything centered around the 2010s YouTube vlogger era

A K-pop sasaeng thriller (!!)

#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).
