During the day, Kerry Holmes might seem like your average neighbor, tending to her garden or enjoying a book with a cup of tea. Yet, beneath this everyday appearance, there’s a different story. Kerry, a 47-year-old with a keen interest in the darker side of fiction and a strong bond with her six cats, is deeply immersed in the world of nightmares.

With degrees in Creative Writing, English Literature, and a Master’s in Publishing, Kerry delves into the darkest corners of the human mind. It was during her Master’s program that she recognized a significant gap in traditional publishing—specifically, a lack of inclusivity and a niche focus on horror short stories.

Determined to address this gap and amplify diverse voices, Kerry founded Dark Holme Publishing. Her goal was to create a space dedicated to marginalized narratives and to offer a platform for those drawn to the macabre.

Kerry Holmes is not just a lover of the eerie and unsettling; she’s the force behind a publishing house that brings these dark stories to light. If you’re interested in exploring the depths of chilling fiction or sharing your own dark tales, Dark Holme Publishing is the place to be.
