MSWL

I’m attracted to lush prose, unforgettable characters, and a fresh twist on a classic trope. I’m especially eager to see diverse stories with rich, underrepresented settings and concepts.

Elements I love in Horror: 

  • I’d love to see a creative spin on a classic haunted house story (think The September House and How to Sell a Haunted House). If you blend weird horror with dark romance and a hot, broody hero, I’m sold.

  • Witches, magical worldbuilding, hot demons, ghosts, talking dolls, or any inventive spin on the genre. I don't shy away from splatterpunk. The wilder and more unique the premise, the better!

Subgenres of horror I’d love to read:

  • Analog Horror - Found-footage or any retro media style (VHS tapes, analog cameras)

  • Liminal Space- Think Backrooms and The Hollow Place by T. Kingfisher 

  • Paranormal ghost stories

  • Gothic Horror - Give me isolated, decayed estates and curses.

  • Body Horror- (The Eyes Are the Best Part and Natural Beauty)

  • Horrormance - High-stakes romance paired with horror elements ala On Sundays She Picked Flowers, 

Elements I love in Romance: 

  • I’m a big fan of magical realism, time travel, and dual timelines, especially stories that make me laugh out loud in one chapter and swoon in the next.

  • Sorry, not sorry, but I’m a dark romance girly through and through. Give me morally questionable characters, banter, enemies-to-lovers dynamics, and forced proximity any day.

  • Smut, smut… did I say smut? High heat is very much encouraged!

Titles that I’ve enjoyed:

  • An Immaculate Deception

  • Muneca

  • Hex 

  • I’ll Watch your Baby

  • Trad Wife

  • The Seven Year Slip

I’m not the best option for:

  • Fantasy

  • Dark Academia

  • Insta Love

  • Botanical, Religious or historical horror
