Break Amazon’s Chains: Fuel the Dark Holme Indie Rebellion

Dear fellow horror lovers and champions of the weird,

Picture this: you peel back the shrink-wrap, crack open your brand-new Dark Holme hardcover, and feel it—real weight, crisp paper, a perfect spine, a chilling art card tucked inside. That ritual? That moment? It’s everything.

But right now, every book still passes through Amazon’s cold, impersonal print-on-demand machine.

Margins get slashed. Quality takes a hit.

And my indie press—my rebellion—remains chained to a system I never chose.

Who am I?

I’m Kerry—founder, editor, designer, box-packer, late-night proofreader.

Dark Holme Publishing is a one-person press built from nothing but grit, grief, and love for the stories no one else will touch.

I pay my writers and artists fairly. I seek out voices the mainstream ignores. I obsess over every detail. But true independence? That means more than just a logo. It means owning the full process—from ink to inbox.

Now, I’m asking for your help to make that possible.

Dark red-lit figure emerging from shadows with eerie lighting—atmospheric horror imagery for a suspenseful story promo.

A full indie print run – starting with a special collector’s edition of Ethereal Nightmares: the entire trilogy brought together in one beautifully bound volume, re-covered and reimagined for those who crave something lasting.

Independent fulfilment – so every order ships directly from us, complete with a bookmark, magnet, and a thank-you card.

Essential tools – ISBNs, barcodes, a label printer, mailing supplies, and all the gritty bits that Amazon hides behind the curtain.

This isn’t just about skipping Amazon.

It’s about creative freedom.

It’s about reclaiming horror from the conveyor belt, and building something that feels human, haunting, and handcrafted.

Every pledge of £5 or more earns your name a place in the Donor Roll—printed in the back of every paperback and hardback from this run.

No tiers. No fine print. Just your name, immortalised in ink.
