Who are we?
From the Founder
Mildew Zine is a soft, strange space for stories that don't quite fit elsewhere. We seek the wilted, the whispered, the wildly overgrown—myths that have lost their endings, fairytales that bloom sideways, poems that smell faintly of earth and memory.
Founded out of a love for quiet magic and beautiful ruin, Mildew is a home for the odd and offbeat, the dreamy and decayed. We publish work that feels like it’s been kept in a drawer too long, pressed between pages, or scrawled in a forgotten attic notebook. If your words feel moss-covered, slightly haunted, or softly shimmering, they’ll likely belong here.
With themed issues, tiny features, and damp little dreams scattered across our pages, we’re here to celebrate what grows in the dark. Welcome in.
