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 Martin,
What does Halloween mean to you and how do you celebrate it?
It might sound a bit weird, considering the collection we’re doing this for, but Halloween isn’t a thing in our house. It didn’t really exist in my family neighbourhood when I was growing up, and always felt like an American import, despite its more Celtic origins. So generally speaking, I’d celebrate it with a quiet night in watching a good horror movie, most commonly the original Halloween by John Carpenter. Hard to beat the classics!
Nope, but if I did, I’d just dress in my normal clothes, but holding a printout of my yearly earnings from Amazon for my books that are sitting on there frantically not selling. I think they should sell that costume at Spirit Halloween, called “Author Making No Money”. Is there anything scarier?
Without giving too much away, is there a story behind your contribution to this anthology?
Just that kids are scary! ‘Nuff said!
Where can we find you online?
I’m around on Instagram and Facebook, a quick search usually finds me, though I barely use these for promotion or anything actually constructive like that, more just for memes and silliness. But my books are available on Amazon, and there’s a general information page on Wordpress, if anyone’s REALLY interested!
