Angus By Sten Spinella (2017)

July 5, 2017

The Jennie Hackman Memorial Prize for Fiction, Second Place (2017) The girl I was seeing had this dog, a real fluffy fucker, whose name was Angus. It was her boyfriend’s dog. She was taking care of Angus because his owner was studying abroad in New Zealand for the semester. I was, finally, over my ex.… More Angus By Sten Spinella (2017)

Cold Water By Catherine Hires (An Excerpt) (2015)

June 16, 2015

Collins Literary Prize Winner, Prose (2015) Nia was still sleeping when I woke up. She was snoring loudly as I crawled my way down the rickety ladder that supported my lofted bed. I walked past her bed, her open mouth smushed ungracefully against her pillow, and made my way into the kitchen. I turned on… More Cold Water By Catherine Hires (An Excerpt) (2015)

A Tie By Joshua Couvares (2015)

June 16, 2015

Jennie Hackman Memorial Award for Short Fiction, Third Place (2015) Another shot. Tequila dried onto his knuckles, his fingernails. When he makes a fist, the skin between his fingers sticks together, like his hand’s one ball of flesh and bone.

Lights in the Night By Stephanie Mei Koo (2015)

June 16, 2015

Jennie Hackman Memorial Award for Short Fiction, Second Place (2015) Her bedroom lights haven’t been off for twenty-four years. Oh, it is silly, isn’t it — to be scared of the dark? Yet here she is, shivering in her nightgown, far too tired to go to sleep. She likes to think she is a reasonable… More Lights in the Night By Stephanie Mei Koo (2015)

Floating By Loriann Dozier (2015)

June 16, 2015

Jennie Hackman Memorial Award for Short Fiction Winner, 2015 The woman tells her it will all be alright. She smiles when she says it, so the infant believes her, because the woman doesn’t smile often. The lines that the sudden curvature of her mouth create are strange, alien to the small blue eyes. The woman… More Floating By Loriann Dozier (2015)

Dinosaur Junior By Julie Bartoli (2014)

June 16, 2014

Jennie Hackman Memorial Award for Short Fiction, Winner (2014) Sid sits on the overhang outside his bedroom window, watching cars. It’s one of those deadbeat summer days, mid-July and steaming. This week the number one song on the radio talks about driving with the windows rolled down, but Sid has yet to see a car… More Dinosaur Junior By Julie Bartoli (2014)

"Here at the Long River Review, we want to publish new voices: voices from the mouth of the river and beyond, voices drowned out by other voices, voices that might not have otherwise been heard. We publish work that is bold, unique, inventive, and most importantly, in your voice."
