ABOUT THE COLLECTIVE
Nyx Horror Collective is a community of diverse woman-identifying horror creators, inclusive of BIWOC, LGBTQ+ women, disabled women, femmes, and nonbinary folx. Our mission is to celebrate and elevate original women-led horror content. Members are drawn from across the industry, transforming the genre through stories that explore race, gender, mental and chronic illness, body image and more. Like the goddess who serves as our namesake, we do not fear the darkness, but embrace it, recognizing that we cannot know the light without first knowing the dark ... Come explore the shadows with us.
