"Having a community is vital, no matter who you are or what you’re interested in. For people interested in horror—something that is still misunderstood, maligned, and stigmatized—having a community of like-minded people can be a lifeline."

Thank you so much to Chloé Harper Gold and Horror Press LLC for showcasing 's 10 Years of Genre, Community, and Growth! Thank you to all of the wonderful people who contributed quotes and shared their experiences with the festival!
