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 Tom,
What does Halloween mean to you and how do you celebrate it?
In the last six years, my significant other and I have established a Halloween tradition: Starting October 1, we watch a horror movie every evening leading up to Halloween.
There's not really a story, more of an urban legend (a "black van" roaming my neighborhood when I was a kid) combined with an anecdote (a grade school friend trick or treating at a house with a woman in a hospital bed in the living room).
What are you working on at the moment? What are you writing?
At the moment, I'm working on a folk horror story based around a (completely made up) splinter sect of the Catholic church.
Where can we find you online?
The best place to interact with me is on BlueSky, where I'm @CalmTomb.
Thanks for playing along!
