"M. Christian speaks with a totally unique and truly fascinating voice. There are a lot of writers out there who'd better protect their markets -- M. Christian has arrived!” —Mike Resnick, Hugo and Nebula Award winning science fiction author

"M. Christian's stories are the fairy tales whispered to one another by dark angels whose hearts and mouths are brimming with lust. He goes beyond the pale, ordinary definitions of sexuality and writes about need and desire in their purest forms. Readers daring enough to stray from the safety of the path will find in his images and words a garden of delights to tempt even the most demanding pleasure-seeker." —Michael Thomas Ford, Lambda Literary Award winner and editor

"M. Christian's stories squat at the intersection of Primal Urges Avenue and Hi-Tech Parkway like a feral-eyed, half-naked Karen Black leering and stabbing her fractal machete into the tarmac. Portraying a world where erotic life has spilled from the bedroom into the street, and been shattered into a million sharp shards, these tales undercut and mutate the old verities concerning memory, desire and loyalty. Truly an author for our post-everything 21st century." —Paul Di Filippo, author the Steampunk Trilogy

"In M. Christian's hands, the short story is alive and well, as well as sexy and smart, witty and surprising, provocative and always more than you bargained for." —Felice Picano

"M. Christian is a hybrid artist and knockout stylist on the order of Jonathan Lethem.  Hard-boiled, sharp-edged, funny and fierce, his tales brim with unbridled imagination and pitch-perfect satire." —Jim Gladstone
