Idyll Wilder writes fiction and poetry where folklore, Southern Gothic landscapes, and quiet wonder meet. She is the founder of The Idlewild House, a creative home for stories, essays, interviews, and the writing life, and the founder and Editor-in-Chief of Belladonna's Garden Literary Magazine. When she's not writing, she's usually collecting old books, wandering woodland paths, or dreaming up new rooms in The Idlewild House. You can view her site at www.theidlewildhouse.com.
