About the author
Icy Sedgwick writes about folklore, ghost stories and the supernatural, and her catalogue includes "Rebel Folklore," "Ghostlore" and "Bring Me Love." "Rebel Folklore" (DK, 2023) gathers fifty folktale figures often cast as outsiders, from Anansi to Baba Yaga, and considers why these misfits and rebels of oral tradition still matter. "Ghostlore" (DK, 2025) follows with fifty ghost stories drawn from cultures around the world, illustrated and organized as a reference for readers curious about hauntings across history. "Bring Me Love" (Watkins Publishing, 2026) turns to love magic, collecting folk charms, historical love spells and divination practices tied to courtship and romance. Across these books Sedgwick works as a folklore researcher and popularizer, translating oral tradition and historical practice into illustrated, accessible volumes for general readers interested in myth, the supernatural and folk custom rather than for academic specialists.
