Diversity in Horror: From Creator to Character

As the horror genre's resurgence continues, readers and viewers are seeing new names in creative roles on the big and small screen, on scripts, and on book covers. We are also seeing greater diversity within the stories themselves as these new names elevate the genre with strong storytelling that shines a light on once-marginalized communities and cultures like never before. Authors KC Grifant (Melinda West: Monster Gunslinger), Theresa Halvorsen (River City Widows), S. Faxon (Origins), New York Times bestselling author Jonathan Maberry (V-Wars, Ghost Road Blues), Dennis K. Crosby (Death’s Legacy, Death’s Debt) and writer Jonathan C. Butler (CW's The Flash) explore the growing diversity in horror and what it could mean for the next generation of storytellers. Moderated by Dr. Billy San Juan (California Screamin’).
