For those of you looking to submit to Out of the Gutter's next issue, you'd better hurry. Subs for their sexploitation issues close on May 15, only four days away.
Bust Down the Door and Eat All the Chickens has opened for submissions to their next issue. They're looking for absurd and surreal fiction and keep the word count below 2000. http://www.absurdistjournal.com/guidelines.htm
And a couple of fairly new markets.
Blood Oranges Zine appears to be a once a year print mag. Their first issue is out and they're currently looking for subs for the next. They pay three copies and the deadline is 9/1/09. They say they're a genre market but prefer dark fantasy. They accept poetry, flash with a 150 word limit, and shorts under 3000. You can check them out here http://www.bloodorangeszine.com/
Ugly Cousin is a literary flash zine looking for stories that max out at 1000. They say they publish the stories that no one else wants but they reserve to the right to reject too. http://www.uglycousin.com/
And last is an eBook publisher called Rymfire eBooks. Their tastes run to the horror and heavy metal genres. They have several short story anthologies listed that pay $3.00 per story and they publish one author novellas that pay $25 for those of you shopping longer stories. http://rymfireebooks.com/
As always read the guidelines and check out the types of stories they publish to see if your work is a fit.

That Bust Down the Door and Eat All the Chickens is an interesting site. I'm not sure I have any absurd stories laying around but I'll check...
I first heard of this site on Anthony Neil Smith's blog. He had a story published there. I never seem to have anything that would be a fit when they're open to subs.
Longer stories can be as hard to sell as flash, thanks for the info, Sandra!
If you're publishing online the longer stories are difficult to place, Conda. I'm sitting on a 4800 word short story that was rejected for the market I targeted because there wasn't enough of a PI theme to it. Ah...well.
