FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
London, 20 October 2025 – Acclaimed author Elyse Salpeter, renowned for her supernatural thrillers, horror, and young adult dystopian tales, has been celebrated in the latest issue of the prestigious Reader’s House Magazine. As a platform that champions exceptional literary talent, Reader’s House praised Salpeter’s gripping storytelling and her ability to weave complex, multilayered narratives where reality and the extraordinary seamlessly intertwine.
Salpeter’s celebrated works include the riveting Kelsey Porter series, which debuted with The Hunt for Xanadu, a supernatural thriller delving into the depths of Buddhist lore and spiritual mysteries. The magazine commended her ability to marry deep emotion with captivating plots, noting: “An exceptional storyteller blending emotion with intensity, Elyse Salpeter captivates readers worldwide with her diversity and imagination.”
In the exclusive interview, Salpeter shared insights into her creative process and commitment to exploring themes of vulnerability and resilience, remarking: “There’s a recurring theme in my novels where my main characters seemingly live their ordinary lives, but then something tantamount happens to thrust their worlds out of orbit, and they must look deep into themselves to survive.”
She spoke candidly about the emotional depths in her stories, stating: “I feel like putting characters in situations where they must find inner strength to survive creates a world rich with vulnerability and power. I love taking scenarios and twisting them to create worlds where things aren’t what they appear to be.”
The magazine also highlighted her series’ powerful endorsement by bestselling author Douglas Preston, who praised The Hunt for Xanadu. Salpeter reflected on the accolade, calling it “like winning the lottery”: “When your favourite author vets something you’ve written, it bolsters your confidence and becomes an incredible motivation to keep pursuing your vision.”
Through her works, such as Nowhere to Run and Flying to the Light, and the YA dystopian tale The Door on the Right, Salpeter has captivated audiences across multiple genres, earning admiration for her brave exploration of humanity’s endurance in extraordinary circumstances. In her interview, Salpeter encouraged aspiring authors to embrace their creativity and write authentically. “My advice is to just keep writing. Keep putting down your words, get your stories out of your head and onto paper. Be your own truth.”
This latest feature in Reader’s House further celebrates Salpeter’s remarkable contribution to the literary world, enhancing her global profile and showcasing her exceptional talent to audiences worldwide.
