A Spooky Interview with Daniel Fox

Samhain Screams will be released on the 17th of October—but the Kindle version is available for pre-order today at just $1.99 instead of $3.99. You can also add the anthology to your Goodreads list. Our aim is quite simply to make Halloween 2025 the spookiest ever with this anthology featuring twenty scary tales handpicked by Greg Chapman and Cameron Trost. Do you dare peek into the troubled minds of our contributing authors?

Hi Daniel,

What does Halloween mean to you and how do you celebrate it?

One of the things that makes Halloween great is that it is a celebration of creativity. And it doesn’t matter how big or small your celebration is. Want to throw on a black vest and call yourself Han Solo ? Cool. Want to build an elaborate costume that takes months of effort and planning ? Also cool. How much or how little you do is up to you, and it’s all fun.

As for me, I like to take a wander around my neighbourhood and see how people have transformed their homes, and how excited little kids are as they run from one home to the next. It’s a good feeling.

Would you share something about yourself that your readers don’t know yet?

I think cats are beautiful but I won’t pick one up. They’re living bags of knives.

What are you working on at the moment? What are you writing?

I haven’t really written many short stories in the past. So this year I thought I’d give them a whirl and it has turned out to be a lot of fun. So far this year, six of my stories have been nabbed by various publications, and I’m pretty excited to meet new readers via these happy little bursts of creativity.
