Trysts: A Triskaidecollection of Queer and Weird Stories by Andre Norton Award & Lambda Literary Award-nominee Steve Berman (ISFDB, Wikipedia) is a collection of 13 of his speculative fiction stories about supernatural encounters, mostly centred around dark fantasy, urban fantasy, and psychological horror as well as LGBT relationship themes, some reprinted from outlets like frequent Hugo-finalist Strange Horizons magazine, free courtesy of LGBT specialty publisher Lethe Press (Wikipedia), who've been keeping it in print since 2001.

This has favourable quotes in the editorial review section, and according to the publisher, was doubly-nominated in two categories for the 2002 Spectrum Awards (Wikipedia) recognizing LGBT-themed works of speculative fiction.

Currently free (and DRM-free) for anywhere up to the next 5 days @ Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK and pretty much everywhere else worldwide that Amazon sells, since this is being done via their KDP Select exclusive or else program)

And this has been the (late!) selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day.

Because despite what a number of people who try to logroll what's essentially a clubhouse fan award that got opened to the general public seem to think, it's actually pretty nice to see more diversity and variety in speculative fiction recognized if it's of sufficient quality and enjoyability, and this seems to have passed a number of people's this-is-good-enough-to-maybe-pin-a-prize-upon meters, so bonus points.

Enjoy!

Description
Thirteen weird and queer short stories by one of the more notable names in gay speculative fiction. But these passionate hookups and romantic encounters range from the eerie to the horrifying to the wondrous.
