For #agents, taking my annual submission reminder from X to bsky to shout out the top of my #mswl is adult horror, especially would love to see more diverse voices, body horror, psychological, camp/humor, novella, story collection, and more. If it sits firmly in horror, I would love to see it!

🐛Tragedy that spirals protag into desperate mad science
🦋Vengeance
🐛Loving mexican familia
🦋A VERY unusual hole

A collage of six images 1. The phrase "together as one" repeating in a downward list, 2. A foggy rainforest, 3. A cake topper with two men, 4. A white clock tower, 5. An oil slick, 6. A green chrysalis

SUMMER SONS x CAMP DAMASCUS

BLESSED BE THE FLESH is an adult horror romance about an amnesiac cult escapee and the lonely trucker who picks him off the side of the highway. Remembering his past may destroy him, but what he's forgotten will destroy the world.

A collage with images of sweaty boys almost kissing, a human/bird monster, and a cowboy pulling a horse under an intensely cloudy sky. There are also the words “A love like that made me someone new. Not even because I chose to change, I had no choice in the matter; the feeling swept me up and molded me into someone I didn’t recognize before I could look down and understand just what I had gotten myself into.”

Still building on here, but #agents I'm excited to highlight a few #mswl I'd love to see in my inbox. I'm open to children's (esp YA) and adult submissions, so assume the below refers to either!

-Horror! I want all of it, but would especially love a hook-y slasher, psychological and body horror.

My favorite #horror movies of 2024. I saw 131 new releases. Honorable mentions

Nosferatu, beautifully shot remake of a classic, loved the themes of sexuality but felt it suffered from the length

Mads,go in without knowing anything! Pure fun

Lisa Frankenstein & Your Monster, double feature these!
