Dark Holme Inner Circle

🖤 Every horror lover remembers the moment.

The story that got under your skin. The book you couldn't put down. The film that kept you awake. The moment you realised the dark was exactly where you belonged.

We want to hear yours.

To celebrate the upcoming release of Dark Descent: Whispers From Beyond — the 2026 Anthology — we're giving away a hand packed Dark Holme Reader Box worth £24.99 (including the 2025 Hardback edition).

Just tell us in the comments — what was the moment you fell in love with horror?

That's it. One comment. Your story.

Please note — this competition is open to UK residents only. As a small independent publisher we hand pack every box ourselves and international shipping costs make it genuinely unfeasible to offer fairly to our global community right now. We hope to change that as Dark Holme grows. Your stories are absolutely still welcome wherever you are in the world — we just can't post the prize outside the UK quite yet.

Competition closes: Wednesday 9th April Winner announced: Thursday 10th April
