Samantha Hund writes devastating dark fantasy where ambition kills, love corrupts, and suffering is an art.
Her work revels in the tragic, the uncanny, and the emotionally unhinged, weaving together ritual magic, doomed prophecies, and characters who bleed beautifully. She describes her current project, The Last Dawn, as “deeply upsetting in all the right ways”—a story that does not flinch from pain, longing, or the ruin that follows desire.
Her poetry chapbook, a face full of flowers, was published by Bottlecap Press in 2025. She was a Third Round Finalist in the 2024 NYC Midnight Short Story Competition, and her writing has appeared in Crowstep Journal, with additional short fiction forthcoming from Expat Press. She is a member of the Horror Writers Association (HWA) and is currently seeking representation for her debut novel.
When she’s not feeding readers to the wolves, Samantha can be found rewatching Jean Rollin films, hoarding too much tea, and pretending she didn’t just emotionally destroy your favorite character.
She lives in New York and is currently at work on her debut novel.
