I AM HORROR is an editorial archive documenting creators of color working within the horror genre across the global diaspora.

Participation in the archive means your work, declaration, and materials may be documented and shared as part of this ongoing project.

The archive exists to increase visibility, documentation, and discoverability of creators shaping the genre.

What best describes your work in horror – check all that may apply

In 150–300 words, tell us about your relationship to horror.

You might reflect on questions like:

• When were you first told you didn’t “look like a horror fan”?
• When did horror make you feel seen?
• What stories, myths, or cultural traditions shaped your imagination?
• What does horror allow you to explore that other genres cannot?
• How does your lived experience shape the horror you create or engage with?

This declaration will become part of the I AM HORROR archive, documenting the voices and perspectives shaping the genre today.

What types of collaboration interest you?

Examples:

• film projects
• anthology writing
• podcast appearances
• academic collaboration
• visual art/illustration

**Important Note

I AM HORROR is an archival and editorial initiative.

Participation does not mean NightTide Magazine acts as a manager, publicist, or representative for creators in the archive.

NightTide Magazine does not arrange collaborations, negotiate opportunities, or connect creators with industry professionals without their consent. The purpose of the archive is to make creators and their work visible and discoverable, allowing others to learn about and engage with their work directly.
