To me, Subterranean Press press means expensive editions of books I can't justify buying. BUT! today I discovered that they also do free ebooks:
https://subterraneanpress.com/free-ebooks/
I discovered this because they have made available a short story by Travis Baldree (of Legends and Lattes fame) and I was intrigued enough that I wanted to know more. To be fair, I thought it was a new novel, and enough different from the previous that it might be more my style, but I'm still looking forward to reading it.

swingandswirl who mentioned it elsewhere:
To celebrate its fifteenth anniversary, Tor.com is giving away a best of collection of its short stories from the past fifteen years. There are some pretty cool names on this list, too - N.K. Jemisin, Yoon Ha Lee, Charlie Jane Anders and others. The book is available until 31 July. Go get it here, in epub, mobi, or PDF.
Nyx had already been to hell. One prayer more or less wouldn't make any difference...
On a ravaged, contaminated world, a centuries-old holy war rages, fought by a bloody mix of mercenaries, magicians, and conscripted soldiers. Though the origins of the war are shady and complex, there's one thing everybody agrees on--
There's not a chance in hell of ending it.
Nyx is a former government assassin who makes a living cutting off heads for cash. But when a dubious deal between her government and an alien gene pirate goes bad, Nyx's ugly past makes her the top pick for a covert recovery. The head they want her to bring home could end the war--but at what price?
The world is about to find out.

Starred Review. Moon's world is populated by many different intelligent species (none of them human), and he has never known which one he belongs to. Orphaned at a young age, he's wandered from tribe to tribe, hiding a dangerous secret. Like the universally hated Fell, whose only aims are slaughter and conquest, Moon can fly—which leads to predictably violent cases of mistaken identity. When he does find his own people, the Raksura, life doesn't get any easier, since their internal politics are vicious, and they too are in imminent danger from the Fell. Cue hairsbreadth escapes and feats of derring-do, as Moon helps his new family evacuate their doomed colony and then rescues a group of kidnapped children. Wells (The Gate of Gods) merrily ignores genre conventions as she spins an exciting adventure around an alien hero who anyone can identify with.

sps on the theory that I'm willing to read up to 5000 words of just about anything, and it'd be nice to find good unknown authors.
