Found a few anthology markets this morning that might be of interest.
First up is an anthology called "Fast Forward", the third volume in their flash fiction series. From Fast Forward Press, they're looking for flash stories up to 1000 words but their soft spot is for stories in the 400 to 700 range. There's no pay only two copies if your stories are accepted. The deadline is December 31.
They're also having a flash novel contest for stories from 20,000 to 30,000 words with the winner receiving $200 and publication but be aware that they're charging a $20 reading fee. You can find the details here http://www.fastforwardpress.org/submissions.html
Pill Hill Press has listed two more anthologies. They're a paying market for your shorts.
The first one is "The Bitter End: Tales of Nautical Terror" and they're looking for horror stories that take place on the high seas. The deadline October 31.
The second is "A Whodunit Halloween" with an April 15, 2010 deadline, so you have lots of time to get this one in.
You can find the details for these two at http://www.pillhillpress.com/open-submissions.html
The last is also a paying market at a penny a word for stories up to 4000 words. This is to be published by the Library of Horror Press. They are accepting subs from August 1 through October 15. And there's a premise. One protag who wakes up on January 1, 2010 to find everyone dead, only plant life and animals have survived and all the bodies have mummified. But NO zombies.

Gee, that last one is specific enough.
Yes, I can see everyone opening with John/Joan opened her/his eyes, head pounding from too much champagne. Coming up with an original opening will be the hardest part for that one.
