Black horror does more than frighten—it exposes the real forces shaping Black life: housing neglect, gun violence, medical inequity and institutional abandonment. “The system is the monster,” says author Tamika Thompson. In The Curse of Hester Gardens, the supernatural stands alongside public-housing realities familiar to far too many residents: leaky pipes, backed-up sewers, trash and officials who let homes fall into disrepair. Author and physician Justin C. Key turns the medical system into horror’s setting, showing how understaffing, bureaucracy and corporate priorities can strip patients and health workers alike of humanity. In this conversation moderated by Ayize Jama-Everett, Thompson and Key discuss Black horror as a space for truth-telling—where grief, terror, joy, survival and systemic accountability can exist together. Read: “The monsters we know: Black horror names the systems that harm us” by Tabari Morris. @JustinKey_MD @tamikathompson @SistahSciFi sfbayview.com/2026/08/the-mo… #BlackHorror #BlackLiterature #HousingJustice #HealthcareJustice #GunViolence #SpeculativeFiction #BlackWriters #SFbayview #ShareIfYouCare

Grateful for the discussion I had with my dear brothers, @JustinKey_MD and @AyizeJamaEveret, for "THE MONSTERS WE KNOW: BLACK HORROR AS RESISTANCE." We talked systemic oppression and how horror brings truth to power. Shout out to @SistahSciFi and @auntlute for holding space.

Bay Area, "THE MONSTERS WE KNOW: BLACK HORROR AS RESISTANCE," is needed now more than ever. I look forward to the discussion with @JustinKey_MD and @AyizeJamaEveret. Join us TOMORROW at 2p. Link in comments. @SistahSciFi @auntlute #Horror #Books

I’m a horror writer who went to medical school and wrote a sci fi thriller.

A thoughtful criticism of my short story collection, The World Wasn’t Ready for You

Having just finished reading The Hospital at the End of the World, this sounds more of a fulfillment than a dystopian tale.

My son is reading a book of riddles and because of the unfortunate timeline we live in I got it immediately.

Check out @mondyboy74.bsky.social’s review of THE HOSPITAL AT THE END OF THE WORLD by @justinkey.bsky.social: “The action isn’t as frenetic as The Pitt (what is?), but it remains intense, exhausting, and consistently fascinating…” locusmag.com/review/the-hosp…
