If you have ever been in love way over your head, this is the book for you. In TRIAL BY NIGHT, Perry Brass, author of bestselling classics like Angel Lust, How to Survive Your Own Gay Life, and The Manly Art of Seduction, presents two novellas, longer short fiction, exploring love, the innocence of falling in love, and deception, that snake in the garden path. In the first, Ghosts, or The Dangerous Fog, he presents himself as a fictional character and meets Stephen Hong-Moore, recently divorced from his Chinese husband of many years, and raring to be "gay, single, and in New York." He comes on to Perry like Al Capone at a bootleggers' convention, sweeping Perry into that "dangerous fog" of love, with a potentially lethal undertow in it, the fact that Hong-Moore is "neuro-divergent" and any involvement with him will be measured, guarded, and, most probably, disastrous. In the second novella, The Seduction of Perry, Brass takes us back to the 1990s, and gay Chicago, to a bathhouse assignation with Adam, a young man who so radiates beauty and youthful innocence that anyone will be charmed and struck by him. But his innocence is merely another variation on not judging any book by its cover-for Adam has secrets of his own, and a lifetime that goes back many, many years beyond his young looks, and that includes the threat of the worst kind of slavery. Both of these novellas are tributes to the life of the mind, of books, and of writing-that writers live in places inside themselves that other people want to visit, but that does not safeguard writers, or anyone else, from the dangers around them. These are two novellas of the horrors of the human heart. They also deal with autism as well as other places "on the spectrum" that, of course, includes heartbreak. Activist and author Perry Brass is well known to readers for his more than twenty books, including fiction, poetry, erotica, advice books, horror, and science fiction, as well as his journalism, plays, and musical collaborations.
