Sam Rebelein holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Goddard College (with a focus on Horror and Memoir), a certificate of graduation from the Lubbock Area Square & Round Dance Federation, and that one trophy in The Last of Us Part II for when you beat the game on permadeath mode. Hard to say which of these is his greatest achievement.

 

Sam teaches writing in Poughkeepsie, NY. His debut novel EDENVILLE was nominated for a Bram Stoker Award and won a Wonderland Book Award for Best Novel (2023). His fiction has also appeared in various venues: Press Pause Press, Bourbon Penn, Pseudopod, Ellen Datlow's Best Horror of the Year, and elsewhere.

He's also on Substack, if you believe in that kind of thing.
