The Horror Zine

Finding markets for crime fiction isn't always easy and I've learned over the years to look in another direction - the horror markets. The Horror Zine was recently brought to my attention and it looks to be a splendid non-paying market. http://www.thehorrorzine.com/

Their May issue is up with shorts from notable authors, Joe R. Lansdale and Ardath Mayhar, among others. If you click on the zines link at the top of the page you'll find a long list of markets for shorts, poetry, and flash fiction.

You'll find the submission guidelines here http://www.thehorrorzine.com/Submission%20Guidelines.html They're looking for shorts of 1600 to 5000 words but no flash at this time. Story types listed are horror, mystery, suspense and sci-fi.
