New fiction at Mythic Delirium! Novelette “Longergreen” from DARK BREAKERS by C. S. E. Cooney now free to read [award eligibility post]

/ Wednesday, December 21st, 2022 / No Comments »

You could call this our award eligibility post redux: once again, we are making an original work from C. S. E. Cooney’s Gilded Era secondary world fantasy collection Dark Breakers free to read on our site. This time, it’s her beautiful, haunting novelette “Longergreen.”

Though it stands on its own, you could view “Longergreen” as an extended final movement to a symphony that begins with her novella “The Two Paupers,” also included in Dark Breakers. As the editor of Dark Breakers, I deeply admired the shift in tone, the blend of joy and sorrow, that grew out of the characters’ wizened perspectives.

Whether you are seeking material to consider for award nominations or looking for a moving, affecting read, “Longergreen” is for you.
