Elowen Greywell

Elowen Greywell is a writer of literary horror and atmospheric fiction, drawn to the quiet dread that lingers between madness, memory, and the human psyche.

Her work explores psychological descent, unreliable narration, and the spaces where history forgets to close its doors. Her debut novel, The Musings of He, is a gothic novel that blends fragmented journals, recovered artifacts, and literary obsession into a story about creation, decay, and the stories that consume their authors.

When she isn't writing, Elowen can often be found annotating century-old books, researching obscure historical ephemera, or wandering places that no longer appear on maps. Well, realistically, you’re more likely to find her in her bedroom shopping for clothes and haunted stuffed animals or playing video games.

She believes that every haunted story begins as a forgotten one.

On a less formal note:

I’m just a girl that enjoys literary prose, finding art in the disturbed, and the color pink. I believe writing as an art form should be fun, and strive to make my work as enjoyable for others to read and interact with as it is for me to create it. I hope I accomplish that in The Musings of He, and every work I release after it.

 Hillsather FAQs

  • Hillsather specializes in rare, lost, or deliberately buried literary works— manuscripts that fall between genres, timelines, and conventional structure. Our catalogue includes fragmented journals, recovered narratives, and experimental texts, often accompanied by modern editorial analysis.

  • All texts are published as discovered, and many are accompanied by scans, notes, and historical context to preserve authenticity. Readers are encouraged to engage critically with the material. Truth is not always chronological.

  • Vattica Wilde was an early 19th-century novelist whose final manuscript was never published in his lifetime. The Musings of He is his last known work— discovered in an archival crate, dismissed as unsellable, and left untouched for centuries. Hillsather's release presents the work in its full restored form, along with commentary from the modern editor who uncovered it.

  • Our sources are private archives, estate sales, overlooked library collections, and long-sealed storage boxes. Every document undergoes internal review and curation before being prepared for publication.

  • Some are. Many defy classification. If you are drawn to literary unease, atmospheric dread, psychological descent, or unreliable narrators, our catalogue will likely appeal to you.

  • We are a slow press. Each project may take months (or years) to prepare due to the nature of our restoration process. That said, our public archive is frequently updated with fragments, new findings, and early material from works in progress.

  • At this time, Hillsather is not open to general submissions. However, if you possess a recovered or historically overlooked manuscript that you believe may be of interest, you may contact us through the inquiry form.
