Mission Statement

Raw Dog Screaming Press is dedicated to putting into print the highest quality literature from the fringe. If it’s dark, deviant, off-kilter and — we will sniff it out.

The experiment began with The Dream People, an online literary journal featuring the best in bizarre, surreal and experimental writing. After almost two years of publishing mind-altering works online we decided to expand into print. Now we have been publishing for nearly 20 years and have put out more than 100 titles.
