Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)To be effective, the act of literary intercourse between horror and erotica should be deeply unsettling. It should leave the reader feeling excited by uncomfortable, overwhelmed by equal parts dread and anticipation. If you've ever read any of his work, you know M. Christian understands this better than most. With his latest, he has woven a tale that permits the reader but a finger's breadth of space between fear and arousal. His deft control of the story makes us feel the blade of the assailant, but it's his subtle manipulation of our emotions that makes us desire the cut of the victim.
The story starts out with simple, if deliciously perverse, premise. A mysterious figure is haunting the underground community of San Francisco, abducting young gay men and cutting off the tip of their little finger. As creepy and unsettling as the abductions are, it's what comes after that comprises the bulk of the story. It's a testament to M. Christian's writing skill that, no matter how creepy or weird it gets, we're encouraged to embrace the guiltiest of pleasures by indulging in the tale. In the end, we're so deeply involved that we can't pull away from the final horrors ahead, but are left instead delighted and deliciously spent.

The city is terrified. Someone is haunting the streets of near-future San Francisco, drugging queer men and amputating the tip of their little finger. But worse than this is how the terror transforms the men of the city. For what's worse-a monster, or that something can, all too easily, turn any of us into something even more horrific?Erotic. Terrifying. Fascinating. Disturbing. Intriguing. Haunting. You have never read a book like Finger's Breadth. You will never look at your fingers, or the people around you, the same way again.
