About Sam
Sam grew up with images of soucouyant. Women of flesh bodies turned to fire at night; drifting through space trying to find their next victims. Their mother would lay beside them in the dark, placing their head onto her lap as she whispered "sa yo se fanm ki pa gen pitye, pa gen okenn lide, pa gen okenn relanti, sa yo se fanm kache konsa byen yo ta ka menm pou mwen", slowly leaning in before tickling them to sleep. As the child of Haitian immigrants, Sam is a recent graduate of Bates College where they majored in Africana Studies. They currently reside in Dorchester, Boston and when not writing you can find them camped out at Andala or rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
