Love Without Gun Control & Other Fantasy, Horror and Science Fiction Stories

by M. Christian

"Unique and truly fascinating," writes Mike Resnick! M. Christian isn't as good as his peers say - he's better! This "best of" collection, featuring the cream of his fantasy, horror, and science fiction stories, is a dazzling achievement. Only M. Christian could have imagined what happens when a boy's uncle blows Tibetan daisy powder in his face, or when a woman gives birth to a new species ... but not one of flesh and blood, or when the Goddess of the Road bestows the gift of beauty to a mortal man. You will find these and eleven other unforgettable tales from the man Stephen Dedman, author of The Art of Arrow Cutting and Shadows Bite, hails as "A chimera, an amazing combination of tour guide and magician. Whether he's writing science fiction, horror or fantasy, he can take you to places you've never imagined, show you sights no-one else will get to see, introduce you to some fascinating people, and guarantee that the trip will be memorable from start to finish." Among the contemporary classics featured in this stellar collection are: Some Assembly Required, The Rich Man's Ghost, Medicine Man, Wanderlust, Buried & Dead, Nothing So Dangerous, Shallow Fathoms, and Constantine in Love. M. Christian's fantasy and science fiction has appeared in Talebones, Space & Time Magazine, Skull Full Of Spurs, Graven Images, Horror Garage, Song of Cthulhu, and other science fantasy publications.

Reminds me of Harlan Ellison

A collection of dystopian stories. A mixture of gritty and humerous. Not suitable for children. Some were quite well done, especially for a short story.

So lost

Is this old wannabe western or new age apocalypse. You need a bit of atmospheric background. Dialogue is great but I would like to know the circumstances surrounding your story. I need meat. Your story was only cream filling without any crust.

the foreword had some kind of dedication to a group of christian writers - the rest of the book burned my fingers - some evil shit - avoid at all costs

some good stories, but some a bit difficult to follow.
