A letter from Steve Berman of Lethe Press. If you haven't checked them out, this might be the time (and you don't have to be gay to enjoy great stories that feature gay characters).
October
is our favorite month. I adore pumpkins and Halloween. Daulton likes
the way the sunlight streams into the room. Our patrons love our
particular brand of queer speculative fiction--not merely a book with a
few gay trappings laced over romance with vampires or shifters, but
real, quality fantasy and science-fiction lauded in the pages of Publishers Weekly.
You
deserve such books. You deserve quality memoirs that are honest with
emotion and empathy. You deserve new fairy tales for the modern day
world. That's why Lethe exists.
We
don't hide behind any costumes. We don't need to. We embrace our true
face, whether it be wondrous or mysterious. There is a reason why our
books have been finalists (or won) a variety of awards such as the Andre
Norton (young adult spec fic), the Shirley Jackson (dark and
fantastic), the Golden Crown Literary (lesbian titles), and yes, even
that Lammy. We offer treats rather than tricks (I'm sure plenty of our
readers like a bit of both, so I recommend you seek whimsy in our
fiction than toilet papering your neighbor).
Have a wonderful month of thrills and chills!
