edit data

Dona Fox writes short stories and poetry - horror, dark fantasy and science fiction.

In the early 1990's Dona lived in an amazing Queen Anne Gothic house. All of the interior doors had been painted black. There were secret passages inside the closets. That house inspired her to write stories and poetry that were published in Cemetery Dance (Issue #1), Eldritch Tales, New Blood, Thin Ice, Haunts, Scavenger's, and Beyond.

Now Dona lives beside a quiet gully in the shadows of several giant sequoias. It is one of the most frightening places she has ever lived.

New Stories and Poetry are in the books listed below. Enjoy your visit.

Dona’s Quotes

“do not try to remove evil from a world that was actually created to cradle and preserve it - and that would be a fool’s mission anyway.”
― P. Mattern, World of Azglen

“There was a desert wind blowing that night. It was one of those hot dry Santa Anas that come down through the mountain passes and curl your hair and make your nerves jump and your skin itch. On nights like that every booze party ends in a fight. Meek little wives feel the edge of the carving knife and study their husbands' necks. Anything can happen. You can even get a full glass of beer at a cocktail lounge.”
― Raymond Chandler, Red Wind: A Collection of Short Stories
