Is there a place for me in this world? Someplace I can call home?” Home isn’t always the place we start from. Sometimes we have to search long and hard to discover our true home. Other times we leave home, only to discover that our home place calls us back. We may seek far and wide for a home, only to find we’ve been there all along. And sometimes, we have to stand and fight for home.
In this full-length anthology featuring contemporary, historical, fantasy, and steampunk stories, some of Torquere’s favorite authors bring us stories of gay men seeking, finding, rediscovering, or struggling to find that one place in the world where they truly belong.
Each of these nine stories treads a unique pathway, but at the end of the journey, these talented authors bring their characters home.
With stories by:

J.L. Merrow

Return to the Mountain
Gary’s a schemer and a con man, always on the lookout for a profit, and he’ll play the lover if that’s the route into someone’s pocket. Enough money will get Gary and his beloved Seth away from their small town origins and into the ranks of the wealthy, but luck turns against him. On the run, he’s come back to the mountains and his roots, but is there a place for him here?
Because no one, even Seth, has a reason to welcome him now.
