OUR STORY
In the ancient world, it was said that every soul required an obol—a single silver coin—to cross into the eternal lands beyond death. Without it, a soul would be condemned to wander the silent shores, nameless and forgotten, unable to pass into the realm of memory and permanence. The obol was a covenant between the living and the eternal, a promise that a life would not vanish without record.
At Obol House, we carry forward that ancient rite. We stand as the keepers of passage, entrusted with the sacred task of preserving those who offer their work as proof that they were here, that they mattered, that their voice is worthy of the shores where memory never dies.
Each manuscript placed in our care is an offering—a signal that you refuse to be forgotten. To entrust your work to Us is to place your obol in our hands, asking not for fame, but for permanence. We do not promise the fleeting currency of trend or fashion. We promise something far rarer: remembrance beyond your lifetime.
Obol House is an imprint of Huntsville Independent Press, a house founded on Honor, Integrity, and the belief that every great work deserves to endure. From these roots, Obol House was born—an imprint for those who do not seek only publication, but seek to leave a permanent mark upon the world.
We understand the weight of what you bring to us. Here, every book is treated as a relic—a testimony that will carry your spirit forward when you are no longer here to speak for yourself. The trust you place in us is sacred, and we honor it with the full gravity it demands.
Immortality is not handed down; it must be claimed. At Obol House, we are the gatekeepers who ensure that claim is not forgotten. We exist for those who believe their voice should outlast them—for those who understand that life is brief, but memory, properly forged and protected, is eternal.​
THIS IS YOUR OFFERING.
THIS IS YOUR PASSAGE.
THIS IS THE HOUSE WHERE YOUR LEGACY IS KEPT ALIVE.
