At first glance, Kerry Holmes appears to embody tranquility, but beneath lies a master of the macabre.

A 47-year-old keeper of nightmares with degrees in Creative Writing and a Master’s in Publishing.

While pursuing her Master's degree, Kerry's research into inclusivity in traditional publishing revealed a significant gap. Combined with her experience as a horror short story writer, she noticed the scarcity of publishing houses dedicated to this niche. This realization led her to found Dark Holme Publishing, a space where chilling tales can blossom and diverse voices in horror find their place.

So dear readers, step into her world if you dare, but remember, the shadows may never truly let you go.

Taking a walk or doing something totally unrelated to writing, like reading or even listening to music, often helps me refocus. Sometimes, just changing my environment—writing in a different room or heading to a café—can do wonders for creativity.

If that doesn’t work, I’ll do a quick freewriting session where I just let my thoughts spill out, even if they make no sense at first. Setting small, manageable goals like writing a single sentence or paragraph also helps me ease back into the flow. Lastly, reading something inspiring often sparks new ideas and reignites my passion for the story.(less)

"A fine collection of haunting stories

Ethereal is a good term for this anthology, as practically every story has a dreamlike tone. Not every one is full of terror and dread, but they all have surprises. I think my favourite is the pleasantly gruesome " Read more of this review »
