Apparatus Magazine bills themselves as a literary zine but says they also publish genre. I expect they're looking for the "transcending" kind. They accept poetry and shorts to 500 words. There's no pay, but once a publishing year (June to June) they select one poem and one short to receive $100. I thought this market might be of interest to our crime writers because the October issue is billed as The Hitchcock Issue with the theme MacGuffin and Red Herring. The deadline is September 22 for this issue. You can find the guidelines at http://www.apparatusmagazine.com/Guidelines.html
Aurora Wolf is a sci-fi/fantasy zine looking for PG-13 stories of 2500-5000 words. The pay here is $5 and they're planning an anthology in 2010 with stories from the zine and will renegotiate payment if your story is used. The stories are posted as accepted.

Ms. Sandra Seamans,
Thank you for posting Aurora Wolf Literary Journal's first presentation online on August 26th, 2009. I appreciate your support of informing your readers of our beginning. Such diligence is what keeps small publications like mine alive and thriving.
I am always seeking quality speculative fiction as well as graphic art. We strive to maintain a one to three day turn around time, so that authors are not kept in suspense waiting for an acceptance. I do not use form letters if I decline a story, and I try to always say why I can not use a story. I feel positive feed back to authors is important.
Once again, thank you for your thoughtful consideration.
Sincerely,
Michael C. Pennington
Editor of Aurora Wolf Literary Journal of Science Fiction and Fantasy
