‘‘Adult:

That said, I’m open to other genres. I want something different, and I adore psychologically complex genre-benders. I’m a huge fan of Stephen King and Gillian Flynn, and I love being scared out of my wits in creepy, atmospheric, unexpected ways. I am in love with Liane Moriarty right now, and would love to find an upmarket, darkly-funny “domestic suspense” novel.’’
