About

What is Dog Oil Press? A web-based publication that showcases a short work of dark humor each and every Saturday - except when it doesn't. What type of submissions are you looking for? Funny - first and foremost. If it's not funny, don't send it. Really. It should also be in line with the somewhat nebulous criteria for dark humor.
