Next Conium title in the works! Morghen Tidd's "houses we die in" will be released in early 2025. Most likely in February, but exact timeline still TBD.

This chapbook contains a triptych of experimental stories, each exploring how grief rests itself inside our bodies and our homes.

Morghen Tidd holds is a former-teacher-turned-bartender-turned-grant-writer and lives in Maine with her two parrots and partner. Her debut short story collection 'girl thing' is out by Long Day Press.
