Hey! Dog Throat Journal is now a member of CLMP. How about that? Thanks @clmporg.bsky.social for the rapid processing.
Black Friday is here they say. Well, we don't try to sell anything here at DTJ, just give you weird and wonderful stories. So no BlackF deals.

We do have an interesting piece by Barlow Crassmont to share, one of the winners of our flash contest earlier here. #flash #fiction - Happy DTJ Friday!

Are we going to post all year about how the writers on #chillsubs named us their top fiction magazine? Why yes, yes we are. This is one that makes us so very proud as it's voted on my writers, the reason we got into this in the first place!

I invite you to read and share this stunning piece by Michael Borth. From this reading, I am immersed in spirits that both heal and curse.
Poem "The Wasteling" by Michael Borth

“In the coffee aromatics of teacher / And office. Of classroom and marijuana car. Stilted in / The energetic wasteling chant was torn from the magnet / To strum infinite mirror tunnels.”
