2017 MYTHIC DELIRIUM summation and award eligibility post
On the surface, this was a pretty laid back year for Mythic Delirium Books, at least in the sense that we didn’t publish any books. But our magazine came out like clockwork, and behind the scenes we stayed pretty frantically busy. (Our forthcoming book Latchkey by Nicole Kornher-Stace won’t be the last of such announcements.)
Below, alphabetically by author, are all the original stories and poems first published in Mythic Delirium magazine in 2017.
Cover art by Paula Arwen Owen (3.3 and 4.1); Susan Jamison (3.4); and Lasse Paldanius (4.2)

Editor’s indulgent note: because I had very few new poems and stories of my own published in 2017, I feel it’s more practical to put the list here than create a separate blog entry on my own homepage. So here they are. Stories: “Binding” (Phantasm/Chimera: An Anthology of Strange and Troubling Dreams, ed. Scott Dwyer, Plutonian Press, 2017); “Burn the Kool Kidz at the Stake” (Not One of Us #58, Oct. 2017). Poems: “Draught” (Star*Line 40.4, Fall 2017); “The Headless Hero” (Dreams & Nightmares #107, Sept. 2017).
If anyone wants to see any of the works listed in this entry in a different file format, feel free to get in touch with me via mythicdelirium[at]mail.com.
