Tin House: Candy

Featuring fiction, nonfiction, and poetry from established authors and new voices alike, the Candy Issue explores those sweet, seductive things we crave, but that might also ruin us.
Candy is all sugary, brightly colored, dangerous temptation—from jawbreakers to candy floss. From the comforting and childlike to those desirable things that can easily turn lurid and even destructive.Featuring stories, essays, and poems on appetites and the pursuit of pleasure, the hard edge on something sickly sweet, and the eternal allure of something you can’t quite trust. Candy—everyone wants more than is good for them.
