Hard to say which of these is his greatest accomplishment. His award-nominated work has appeared in several speculative fiction publications, including Bourbon Penn, The Deadlands, Coffin Bell Journal, Pseudopod, Press Pause Press, Shimmer, Ellen Datlow's Best Horror of the Year, and elsewhere. His debut novel EDENVILLE ("[A]n essential read for horror enthusiasts" —Booklist) is out now from William Morrow, and his follow-up collection of stories set in the same fictional universe, THE POORLY MADE AND OTHER THINGS, is coming for you in early 2025. ​ For more about Sam's work (and pictures of his dogs), follow him on Instagram @rebelsam94.
