Established in 2019 by Elizabeth Kennedy, Otranto House is a small independent publisher based in Manchester, UK.

​

Driven by her passion for horror and crime stories, Otranto House has focused on these genres from the start and originally sought to produce books for young adult readers. Since then, it has evolved to include narratives that are suited for mature audiences, as well as fans of fantasy, adventure, and science fiction stories.

Elizabeth has an undergraduate degree in English and Creative Writing and a Master's in Publishing. Alongside Lydia Grace, Elizabeth wrote the young adult murder mystery Five Dead Blondes, Otranto House's first book which was published in October 2019. Elizabeth has also contributed to The Disciples of Belial, a project that was written by six authors exploring themes of Satanic Panic and the repercussions of the spread of misinformation online.
