First off, is the annual MicroHorror Halloween Contest. I almost missed this one as it started on October 1st but the deadline is October 31 so you still have two weeks to enter. And it's always a fun contest to be a part of. This years theme "The Past!" with history being the impetus for the story. The top word count is 666. You can find more about the contest and a link to the rules here http://www.microhorror.com/microhorror
The first issue of The Feral Pages has launched http://www.theferalpages.com/ Very cool issue and they've got a contest called The Potato Head Challenge so writers can get a feel for combining genres in their stories. This is going to be a bi-monthly zine by the looks.
The October issue of The Dead Mule has gone live http://www.deadmule.com/
As has the October issue of The Collagist which is also having a flash fiction contest. There's a $5 fee to enter but there are cash prizes. http://www.thecollagist.com/
Thieves Jargon is now a monthly instead of a weekly and they've once again changed their guidelines and no longer require a query. http://www.thievesjargon.com/
And Suspense Thriller Zine's home page says the site is currently closed after only two issues. I'll let you know if things change. Their archives are still open if you're looking for something to read in the spy genre. Url to the left.
***Another late addition here. With a hat tip to Paul Brazill we've heard that the latest issue of Yellow Mama has now hit the virtual streets. Url to the left, folks.

Hey Sandra,
I couldn't open even the archives at Suspense Thriller Zine. Do you happen to know what stories they pubbed? (They'd taken one of mine, but I never saw if it ran).

Hi Stephen, welcome to The Corner! Yes, they did publish yours but I can't remember if it ran in issue one or two. If I remember correctly they published one serial story and two shorts and then kind of folded.
Hmmm, I just clicked on the link and they're completely gone now.
