Issue 13 (February 2023) of the online journal Fleas on the Dog, the editors write, “is dedicated to the Ukrainian saviours and the radical activist freedom loving spirits who have been so unjustly silenced by the monstrous machinery of petty, malevolent governments.” Featuring fiction, interviews, poetry, plays and screenplays, all content is available for free download from the publication’s main website. The editors also provide genre labels for the work to help readers looking for specific types or to entice us into trying something new and different. Styles include satire, postmodernist, emerging writer, urban realism, microfixion, monologue, flash, dirty realism, surrealist, farce, literary, metafiction, mainstream, future epitaphs, novel excerpt, experimental, absurdist, ESL fiction, and existentialist – and this is just one issue!
