Chum, a literary magazine, has put out a call for experimental poetry and fiction for their next issue. They do both print and electronic publication, so you get the best of both worlds. For this issue they want poetry (without limits), flash fiction up to 1,000 words and short stories up to 7,500 words. It’s an open forum so long as it’s experimental in nature and literary in style. The deadline is June 21st, 2011, so get your stories to them ASAP.
SNM Horror, both a print and electronic magazine, has put out a call for their July Jealousy issue. They want horror stories that cater one of the deadly seven: envy, jealousy, control, and possessiveness. You know, that stuff we all feel and most of us never want to? The deadline is June 20th, 2011 and they are an occasionally paying market. Check their site for details. They want poetry up to 32 lines or short stories of 2,000 to 5,000 words. Did I mention that they’ll take erotica? Hmmm? Wink wink. The only thing they’re not interested in is “extreme” horror. Not sure how you gauge that, but they may have a better description on their site. Good luck!
Pill Hill Press is doing a “Told You So” anthology. They want stories about CONSPIRACIES. Have I ever mentioned that I’m a card-carrying conspiracy theorist? Kennedy was killed by the military establishment. Neil Armstrong set his foot down in a studio, but the next crew got to the moon. The same freaks that got Kennedy got King and X… and Lennon. Noriega, Mubarak, Hussein and Bin Laden were all CIA agents. See what I mean? Anyway, Pill Hill wants suspense/thriller stories of 1,500 to 7,500 words. It’s for a one-time publication and they’re paying market, but you need to see their site…they’re not paying much. The deadline is June 18th, 2011, which for some is a VERY special day. 
Pagan Friends is a new digital rag looking to contribute to the pagan community. Their call is for stories that can be both fiction and non, both fantasy or experiential. They don’t want sorcerer stories or wicked-witch tales…. From what I can gather on their site, it appears that they are interested in more community-directed stories that cater to those who take to heard the pagan “genre” for lack of a better word. You should really check out their site before submitting to this one. Consider it a new market that is just trying to get off the ground. Oh, and they’re a non-paying market, but you never know what will happen in the future. The deadline is June 17th, and they’ll take stories between 1,000 and 7,500 words.
May December Publications is putting together a monster anthology. They’re calling it Midnight Movie: Creature Feature Anthology and they want short stories and novelettes from 3,000 to 10,000 words. These folks seem to be pretty regular anthology producers, although they aren’t a paying market (like RuneWright is even though they’re tiny). The deadline is June 1st, so break out your big, bad monster tales and get them in there! I plan on getting “Vessels of Abaddon” in to these guys. Seems a perfect fit.
