Madison Castelli is a Long Island–based writer whose work explores isolation, identity, and the quiet, lingering horror of being human. Blending poetry, literary fiction, and psychological horror, her writing lives in the space where beauty and decay coexist—where emotion is preserved, distorted, and sometimes allowed to rot.

She is the author of two poetry collections, Myosotis and Encased in Vases, both of which center on vulnerability, growth, and the fragile architecture of the self. Her literary horror novel, The Unwritten, follows a Deaf student at Elysium University who becomes entangled in a secret society devoted to Emily Dickinson—where poetry is not just studied, but embodied, with increasingly unsettling consequences. Through this work, she explores language, silence, and what it means to exist on the margins of communication.

Across all of her writing, she is drawn to what lingers: the emotions we cannot articulate, the identities we construct to survive, and the stories that remain long after they should have ended.
