The Conium Review: Vol. 10

The Conium Review: Vol. 10 includes new fiction from Lori Sambol Brody, Samuel Clark, Ted Hayden, Aimee Herman, Erica Kent, Kaleena Madruga, Lyndsie Manusos, and Cassidy McFadzean. A giant mirror hangs above a city and exposes private moments; two siblings mix and match pieces of their bodies; a lucky couple wins a vacation in a haunted castle. Lyric and surreal, these pieces traverse themes of intimacy, dependency, and isolation.



This volume of The Conium Review includes "The Sky Saw Us," by Ted Hayden, winner of the 2021 Innovative Short Fiction Contest. The contest was judged by Elle Nash, author of Animals Eat Each Other and Nudes. Elle says "In 'The Sky Saw Us,' all the loss of one's life becomes stored inside the body, where one reflects on it forever."
