Dog Throat Journal About Dog Throat Journal is a publication of flash fiction, and micro fiction. We look for odd time thought provoking works from the edges of artistic expression.Dog Throat Journal looks for unusual, thought provoking flash fiction and micro fiction. We want your non-realist, non-normal, risk-taking, odd, offbeat, eccentric, unconventional, experimental, beautiful poetic prose. We look for well crafted articulate pieces with innovative language that dances, work that speaks to themes that outlive the moment, work that may contradict itself, just like human beings do, work that explores and exposes the mysticism of everyday life, work from the edges of artistic expression and freedom. We want work that rises above and defies genre. Be weird and wise and filled with non-fluorescent light. Make every word count.
