Fogcast Episode 54: Writing is a Chocolate Croissant w/ Samantha Eaton

There are places in the Maine woods where reason gives way to instinct, and every instinct tells you to turn back.

In this episode of the Fogcast, I sit down with Maine horror author Samantha Eaton to explore the strange territory where folklore, fear, and imagination intersect. Growing up surrounded by forests and small-town legends, Samantha has long been fascinated by the darker corners of the human experience, themes that have found their way into her writing in unsettling and unforgettable ways.

Together we discuss the roots of horror, the creatures and concepts that fascinate us most, the influence of Maine's landscape and folklore on storytelling, the authors who inspired her work, and what it takes to carve out a path as an independent author in today's publishing world.

Whether you're a fan of horror fiction, folklore, creative writing, or simply enjoy wandering through the darker places of the imagination, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
