I must say I had a similar experience with Cutthroat--7 or 8 months after I sent a submission, they published an issue (without my work in it) and I assumed I had been rejected. I queried them about the status of my submission and they said something on the order of "Oh, you weren't notified? So sorry. By the way, we declined your work."
I've submitted to them twice but don't plan to submit to them again.
