Dog Versus Sandwich, July 2008

By Marshall Payne ⋅ August 5, 2008

Dog Versus Sandwich offers three stories for the month of June. Daniel Euphrat serves up a gonzo, offbeat tale in “Jack and the Tiny Kittens.” Life for Jack alternates between sitting in front of the TV at home watching the Bald Fat Man Show with his parrot, Mr. Chirpy, and his job at the office [...]

Dog Versus Sandwich, June 2008

By Marshall Payne ⋅ July 9, 2008

Dog Versus Sandwich begins the month of June with Mari Ness’s “Glass Dancing.” A flash fiction take on “Cinderella,” this offering is complete with a daughter, a mother, and more than one glass slipper. This story is so short I don’t want to give anything away, except to say there is a shattering of glass [...]

By Marshall Payne ⋅ June 3, 2008

The May, 2008, stories of Dog Versus Sandwich begin with “The Five Stages of Beef” by Peter Parrish. Jimmy must get home to his girlfriend, but he has a large problem: a cow has wandered onto the road, and he can’t pass. Getting out of his car, he engages in a maddening battle of rhetoric [...]

The March issue of Dog Versus Sandwich kicks off with an off-beat modern tale by Jason Jordan entitled “Cloud.” A man discovers a small cloud in his bathroom raining in his toilet and strikes up a casual friendship with it. They take a walk, and at the 2nd Street Bridge, discuss suicide jumpers [...]

Dog Versus Sandwich, February 2008

By Alvaro Zinos-Amaro ⋅ March 3, 2008

The February, 2008, issue of Dog Versus Sandwich offers three stories and one poem that propel this e-zine forward along its stated path of fantastic and surreal storytelling. To evaluate these stories by conventional expectations might lead us awry, so for a better idea of the appropriate yard stick, let me quote here from the [...]

Dog Versus Sandwich, January 2008

By Andrew Hook ⋅ February 11, 2008

Dog Versus Sandwich is an Australian, blog-based e-zine “dedicated to the fantastic, absurd, surreal, obtuse, bizarre, fandangled, hyperbolic, ‘slipped streams,’ the parable, the duck with the broken leg, the experimental, the mental, and also stories in which a dog eats a sandwich (or vice versa).”
The January, 2008, instalment is the inaugural issue and features one [...]
