A transformative in-person event blending the power of Black horror with cultural exploration and collective healing. Featuring a keynote by acclaimed author Tananarive Due and panels with renowned writers and scholars like Jewelle Gomez, John Jennings and Dr. Kinitra Brooks, this gathering delves into Black horror’s historical contexts and its potential as a tool for healing.

Attendees can connect with each other through engaging activities and a community marketplace, all grounded in cultural traditions such as oral storytelling and neo-traditional call-and-response.
