There’s something about fall. The leaves turning, the weather cooling, and one of my favorite holidays ever, Halloween. I’ve definitely been getting excited for fall during this sweltering August, and I’ve noticed that a fever for Halloween and other spooky things has been popping up in publishing, too.
Agents: I want to acquire YA horror! Send me YA horror! Authors: write YA horror so agents can send it to me!! #HORROR #SayHorrorOneMoreTime

LOVE all these horror fans today - I smell a resurgence of it. Not too late to make 2012 the year of horror:)

If you missed it yesterday, I announced the sale of two new books, including (dun dun dun!) a TEEN SLASHER: http://t.co/sBZ6hZKh

The hunt for something scary is on! And to everyone considering writing a novel that errs on the creepy side (or anyone just feeling a little Halloween-y), I’ve started a playlist to get you in the right frame of mind.
What do you think? Any songs I missed?

Um. Sarah. You are the love of my life for writing this post. LOVE YOUR LIST TOO! Pretty much the entire Sleepy Hollow soundtrack is horror writing heaven.
=D I would be the happiest writer in the world if agents are looking for horror at the moment! And Stephanie Perkins upcoming slasher sounds fantastic! I’m so going to be reading that!
A few of my fave spooky songs: Blood Red Sandman by Lordi and I’m Your Boogieman by Rob Zombie and He’s Back (The Man Behind the Mask) by Alice Cooper. That pretty much makes up the playlist for one of my horror projects.
Hm, Dead Man’s Bones (http://open.spotify.com/album/49utCA26yGI308xWodqm9x)? Also, this album: http://thebirdengine.bandcamp.com/album/the-crooked-mile. Something about minor keys always seems creepier to me?
