Alright, I've just finished with a good amount of research on this subject. Here's what I found for the subjects I'm into which is horror, suspense, science-fiction, mystery. I plan on searching each one of these on Google to find out the specifics for submitting and I recommend the same.

Analog Science Fiction and Fact

Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine

Weird Tales

Asimov's

Strange Horizons

Cemetery Dance

Dark Discoveries

Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine

Action

Crimestalker Casebook

Future Mysterious Anthology Magazine

Hardboiled

High Adventure

Over My Dead Body

Pirate Writings

NY Literary Magazine

Plots with Guns Your list is a good start, but limited. The best way to find which magazines are currently accepting submissions is to check the newest edition of Novel & Short Story Writer's Market. This book is published annually by Writer's Digest. They also publish Writer's Market, Children's Writer's & Illustrator's Market, and Poet's Market. The books tell who is buying, what and if they pay, and exactly what type of material they want. They also tell where and how to submit your manuscript. It is very important to pay attention to the specific guidelines. If a publisher says they don't want science fiction, don't think that because your science fiction story is wonderful that they'll be sure to accept it. They won't. Save your time and postage and send it to a magazine that loves science fiction. If the magazine says they only want stories under 2000 words, don't send them a 2500 word story. If they only want submissions sent by mail, don't email them a story even if you find their email address. The books also explain proper manuscript format and give many good general submission guidelines Most libraries carry copies of the books. Older copies of the books give a lot of information, but it's best to check the newest version before you actually submit your manuscript, because markets change. The magazine may have changed editors, address, or its needs since last year. If you are interested in one particular magazine, you can also write directly to the magazine and ask for their current submission guidelines. Include SASE (self-addressed, stamped envelope) if using regular mail. You can also do a Google search -- magazine name writers guidelines will bring up the current guidelines for many magazines. Literary Market Place 2008 and International Literary Market Place 2009 also give market information, but since they sell for almost $300, not as many libraries carry them. Selling for under $30, the Writer's Digest Market books are a better investment.

Can anyone tell me where I get short stories?

For published short stories, I would suggest perusing your local library for anthologies. Good ideas would be to check out anthologies by authors you like, Year's Best _____ anthologies, or anthologies where the requirement was that the story be on a certain topic (vampires, love robots...) that interests you. Then you can pick as many stories as you need from the different anthologies. There are also literary magazines that specifically showcase short fiction, such as Ploughshares and Granta. You might consider subscribing to these publications or checking their web sites for the latest in contemporary short fiction.
