M.Christian is thrilled to announce the
republication of his queer erotic horror/sci-fi/thriller, Finger's Breadth
ebook available now!
Trade paper coming soon!
Audiobook coming soon!
Finger's Breadth may well
rank as one of the most psychologically astute erotic novels since Leopold von
Sacher-Masoch’s Venus in Furs, and it deserves to be just as widely read.
- JKB, from the Circlet Press
site
Erotic. Terrifying. Fascinating.
Disturbing. Intriguing. Haunting ... you have never read a book like Finger's
Breadth.
The cutter is haunting the
streets of near-future San Francisco, drugging random queer men and amputating
the tip of their little finger.
But so much worse than this
brutality is how fear transforms the city, revealing the inescapable nature of
society ... and the darkest depths of human sexuality.
In a
very special arrangement, M.Christian's arousing, yet terrifying novel, is
currently available as an ebook, and soon as a trade paperback edition, through
Renaissance E Book's Sizzler Editions imprint – and a special audio book
edition will be available in a few months, through audible.com, courtesy of
WoodWooze Publishing!
Here’s what some people are
saying about Finger's Breadth:
"M.Christian has to be the
most amazing writer I've ever read. He is a master manipulator with his words.
You read his stories and begin to feel exactly what he wants you to feel -
arousal, desire, anger, fear, hope. Readers find themselves surprised to feel
this way, yet it is M.Christian's way of pulling dormant and primal emotions
out of you. And the crazy part is that you don't mind embracing these perverse
feelings as you are that pulled into the story. Not only does M.Christian push
his characters in his stories to their limits, but he also pushes his readers
minds to meet him in these faraway places."
- Zee, Firepages
"It is not that hard to
come up with an idea that can be turned into a horror story and that is why
horror has been part of the folklore of America and why these stories are so
popular on campouts as we sit around a campfire. To successfully do this, we
need a combination of characters and plot but more important than all else is a
novel way to relate the story. For me that is the definition of M.Christian.
This book is unlike anything I have read before and I suspect that it will stay
with me for quite a while."

"Finger's Breadth is a real
wild ride, the sort of novel you turn to when the apocalyptic mayhem out your
window gets dull, and you lust for something to remind you of what it's like to
live life at full-throttle. M.Christian sends the reader hurtling like a hockey
puck through a world of crime, out-of-control passions, mutilation, and
madness. Terms like noir and hardboiled don't quite fit—this is more like
ultraviolet, the invisible light that makes the scorpions glow in the dark."
- Ernest Hogan, author of High
Aztech
M.Christian has seen the future
-- and it is hardboiled! If you love crime stories -- gay or otherwise -- and
you love science fiction, you will love Finger's Breadth. No other
storyteller nails it quite like M.Christian does. This is a real pageturner.
- Marilyn Jaye Lewis, author
of Freak Parade
Finger's Breadth is
mesmeric storytelling, riveting in execution and appalling in implication.
M.Christian’s tale of erotic terror in a near-future San Francisco is
imagined so skillfully that it grabs the reader with its easy familiarity, then
refuses to let go as it careens to its shocking yet completely believable
conclusion. Evoking such Grand Masters as Armistead Maupin, Thomas Harris
and Rod Serling while remaining strikingly original, Finger's Breadth is
Christian at the height of his considerable powers. Like Charon the
ferryman, the author takes the reader down the dark rivers of human sexuality
and shows us things that would normally never see the light of day.
Ultimately the most compelling aspect of this fiction is how
fascinatingly and terrifyingly plausible it is. Finger's Breadth should
come with a warning label: Read this before clubbing.

Slave
