I just finished writing and editing a short suspense story, about 1,000 words, but I don't know where to submit it. I tried googling for some suspense magazines and all I could find is The Strand. Does anybody know of others, or literary magazines that accept suspense stories?

SmokeLong Quarterly is an e-zine that published flash fiction (1000 words or less) http://www.smokelong.com/sub_guidelines.asp

Glimmer Train is another magazine that pays $700 for accepted submissions. https://www.glimmertrainpress.com/

I think I have more laying around here somewhere, but those are the ones that I remember off the top of my head.

Duotrope (http://duotrope.com/) is a website that lists tons and tons of short fiction and poetry markets. You should find plenty of options there.

YWS actually has a page for that:

market.php

You can probably track down a magazine that works for you.

There are way more literary publications that publish that type of thing than you think. I can't suggest a particular place, but I'd suggest getting a resource like The Young Writer's Market or the Writer's Market. Most libraries have them. You'd almost certainly be able to find something in a directory like that.

Ooh I hadn't thought to go to our library. They might actually know some publications themselves. Thank you!

There's no garuntee with this one and it seems to take forever for them to decide if they want to publish it or not but here's another site:http://www.teenink.com/plus/mystuff/login.php (Click No, No, then it goes to the Register part. The rest is self-explainatory). :)
