As we start 2025, Night Terror Magazine begins the year with a BANG! in our Horror Noir issue for Black History Month! In this amazing issue we have an interview with the Black Horror Queen, herself, TANANARIVE DUE! This was such a fantastic opportunity and we’re happy we could feature such a huge trailblazer in Black horror alongside an up and coming artist, Dédric Cherry aka HAINT.sys who speaks on their immersive project, A.R.C.A.N.E.!

Both Elli and Kelsee’s articles focus on this same rallying cry: learning from our histories and our communities’ mistakes to inform a better future! You cannot change if you do not learn what can be changed. Due expressed during her interview that making those like Octavia E. Butler or Martin Luther King Jr. prophets doesn’t serve the larger meaning. It instead puts them on a pedestal, making the rest of us question, “How could I ever be grand enough to make anything happen?” The better question is, “Who are you NOT to be grand enough to make EVERYTHING happen?” We learn of Black History in books and films, but we all have to remember that WE are history in the present. The change you make today has the possibility of being someone else’s history to be told! 

With that, we hope the stories, the reflections, and the history within this issue’s pages can educate some of you, comfort others, and ultimately encourage you all to be a part of a greater change for a better community and a better world.
