Her Hollow Pen

Her Hollow Pen is a blog featuring the prose and musings of speculative author MT Hollowell.

Here you’ll find stories that explore her interest in the curious and strange, her musings on writing and life, and her usual obsessions with history, books, teas, macabre topics and whatever else her addled heart desires.

Breaking out of the third person, I wanted to thank everyone who takes the time to stop by. If you’re also into weird tales and contemporary histories of the last two hundred years, you’re my kind of people and I hope you find something you like!

Below are some highlights
