Welcome to Dark Holme. Grab a coffee and stay a while — there's a lot going on here. We're an indie horror publisher with a simple belief: dark fiction should hit hard, linger long, and leave a mark. So that's what we publish — and we make sure the voices telling those stories are as diverse and unexpected as the stories themselves. We publish Dark Descent, our monthly micro-horror magazine, alongside books, anthologies, competitions, workshops, and the Shadowsphere — our open community for writers and readers who love the dark side of storytelling. We champion new writers and unheard voices, and we're always looking for stories that don't fit neatly anywhere else. Whether you're here to read, write, or just have a nose around — you're welcome. The door's always open. Just don't be surprised if something follows you out.

Beneath the Covers is where we explore everything that lurks in the shadows of horror—fiction, folklore, film, and the strange truths in between. Here you’ll find unsettling stories, genre deep dives, author spotlights, and reflections on why we’re drawn to the dark. Pull back the covers and see what’s waiting underneath.

Slip Between the Covers with Dark Holme

Here we write about all things horror—books, stories, themes, trends, and the genre’s long, strange history. Expect thoughts, recommendations, observations, and the occasional rabbit hole, all written with a love for dark fiction and the traditions that shaped it.
