The Conium Review: Vol. 9 contains new fiction from Heather Cripps, Lucy Duggan, Pearl A. Griffin, Kelly Hill, Trista Hurley-Waxali, Kanya Kanchana, Juliana Lamy, Cassidy McCants, Erin Piasecki, Devin Porter, Xenia Taiga, and Miranda Williams. Shrieking mermaids, men in trapped in bottles, and a boy with a glass arm. These pieces personify inanimate objects, delve into epistolary prose, and fragment a narrative across excerpted conversations and text messages. Filled with equal parts humor and melancholy, this collection is a literary delight.This volume of The Conium Review includes "The Things I Took from Your House," by Cassidy McCants, winner of the 2020 Innovative Short Fiction Contest. The contest was judged by Emily Wortman-Wunder, author of Not a Thing to Comfort You. Emily says the winning piece " . . . stood out with the way its innovative form mirrored and reinforced its arc and helped to nudge out new corners of its characters. I loved this story's sly and surprising voice, the way it skipped along in a wry wistful way and then plunged in the knife."
