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.
She was a Third Round Finalist in the 2024 NYC Midnight Short Story Competition and is a published poet in Crowstep Journal. When she’s not feeding readers to the wolves, Samantha can be found studying folklore, hoarding too much tea, and pretending she didn’t just kill your favorite character.
She sincerely hopes you have a terrible time.
