Horror
Historical
Fantasy
Contemporary
Suspense/Thriller/Mystery
Deff on the hunt for more horror. Genre blending encouraged! Particularly looking for humor horror and sci fi horror
Creature features with animals/myths from cultures that aren’t often explored (would love an indigenous author focusing on lore from their legends)
Vibes: anything Mike Flanagan, A24 films, Annabelle, Oculus, Get Out, Hide & Seek, The Ritual, Talk to Me
Fantasy - pretty open as long as it’s not repetitive of what we’ve been seeing a ton of lately
Not a fit for Fae/Faeries, werewolves, elves
Contemporary - slice of life, “one day” stories, LGBTQ+, impactful stories; not necessarily looking for warm/fluffy contemporary right now; not a fit for SA, Drug Abuse, or child/animal abuse
Suspense/Thriller/Mystery - open to comedy in these but do love gritty; dual timelines would be awesome, cold cases; speculative elements welcome
No cop procedurals or heavy police POVs
Yes to cults; religion welcome if leaning on the cult vibes or paranormal/mythological (think Midnight Mass)
