Black Static’s January–February 2015 issue starts the year with novelettes from Simon Avery and Tyler Keevil and short stories from Priya Sharma, Jackson Kuhl and E. Catherine Tobler. 'Ghost' is Martin Hanford’s cover art and he provides an interior illustration, as do Richard Wagner and George Cotronis. The usual features are present; regular comment columns by Stephen Volk and Lynda E. Rucker - the latter now renamed Notes From the Borderland; Blood Spectrum by Tony Lee - DVD/Blu-ray/VoD reviews include Sin City 2: A Dame to Kill For, Vikings Season Two, True Blood Season Seven, The Strain Season One; Case Notes by Peter Tennant - book reviews include titles from Tim Waggoner, Aliya Whiteley, Michael Marshall Smith, Joe R. Lansdale, Gary McMahon, and Tim Waggoner - who is this issue's subject of Peter’s interviewing technique.
So Black Static is essentially a fiction magazine containing short stories in the horror and dark fantasy genres. But it covers other aspects of the genre via comment columns, reviews of books, movies, DVDs, TV and downloaded video.
