The edgy new release was crafted at the request of female audience, who wanted more fantasies involving humiliation and control. ‘Trance Junkie’ entangles the listener in a deep fantasy of sexual submission, obedience
training, and public exhibition.

“Quite a bit of erotic hypnosis has evolved through the BDSM community” explains Daniel A, Hypnotic Dreams’ creator and author. “A portion of our market came from women who fantasize about submission and surrender.
It’s a safer way to satiate a fantasy without having to subject yourself to strangers or revealing your sexuality to those around you, especially if you are already in a vulnerable position.”

Unlike dating sites or chat lines, these hypnotic audio stories give a vivid, personal experience without the risk of stalkers. Hypnotic Dreams’ media is very discrete. Unlike graphic pornography, adult literature, and sex toys, Hypnotic Dreams’ MP3 files are much easier to conceal from prying eyes. The titles can easily be hidden with music on smartphones, MP3 players and computers.

“Trance Junkie’ is a seductive thank you to the hardcore fan base that has kept me going through these tough times,” says Daniel A. “While we’re expanding our products to include stories for men, and therapeutic
pieces on kegels and fellatio, I deeply appreciate the audience’s feedback and input that has led to our more creative and electrifying stories.”

Now available in ebook for the first time, 18 short stories of crackling erotic futures by the master of erotic voice, M. Christian. Men, women, hackers, derelicts, enforcers, hustlers, and whores in every combination inhabit the streets and beds and back alleys of Christian’s imagination. This is erotic science fiction at its best.

Included in this new edition, in addition to Cecilia Tan’s rave introduction to M.Christian’s work from the original book, is a special foreword by Kit O’Connell, a chat between Cecilia Tan and M.Christian on mixing science fiction and erotica, and much more!

I’m going to tell you a secret. There are only two people in the world I envy. One is the late Roger Zelazny, whose talent for an almost jazz improvisational way of writing I could never match.The other is M. Christian, for writing exactly what I’d write if only I could get off my ass. Which is to say, raunchy hallucinatory sexfuture dreams that never fail to arouse me and kick me in the gut at the same time …
- Cecilia Tan, from her original introduction

In the years since I first read The Bachelor Machine, I’ve shared these thought-provoking tales with many friends. The stories have never failed to provoke both reaction and discussion. Long after arousal is gone, there are stories here that haunt me. I’m glad that now you can share that too …
- Kit O’Connell, from his foreword to the new edition

The stories in his new collection, The Bachelor Machine, pass the litmus tests of both the SF and erotica genres. Take out the tech and there’s no story; take out the sex and there’s no story. This description may lead those unfamiliar with SF erotica to suspect that every story is about getting off with the aid of futuristic technologies, and that’s true as far as it goes. But that’s not going nearly far enough. The stories in The Bachelor Machine are not about sex, though they’re stuffed with sexual acts; the stories are about what sex means. M.Christian is writing about the psychology of being human, and he often does so by exploring sexual possibilities and realities that are rarely discussed, even in private conversation. He not only thinks forbidden thoughts, he extrapolates them in the finest SF fashion …
- Cynthia Ward, Locus On-line

As a special treat, here’s an interview with M.Christian from the Suicide Girl’s Web site about The Bachelor Machine!

And The Bachelor Machine has its own Wikipedia page!

Here’s what others are saying about M.Christian and The Bachelor Machine:

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!
- Mike Resnick, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning science fiction author

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 of The Steampunk Trilogy, and reviewer for Issac Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine.

Fantasist, futurist, eroticist, satirist, humorist, dentist drilling deep into the nerves of the here and now … M. Christian wears a lot of hats in this multifaceted collection, and they’re all a splendid fit.
- Brian Hodge, author of Mad Dogs and Lies & Ugliness

M. Christian is the chameleon of modern erotica. One day punk, another romantic; one day straight, another totally perverse and polyamorous. But always sexy and gripping.
- Maxim Jakubowksi, editor of the Mammoth Book of Erotica series

M. Christian is a chimera, an amazing combination of tour guide and magician. Whether he’s writing science fiction, horror, or erotica, 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. Buy a ticket and fasten your seat belt: you’re in for a wild ride!
- Stephen Dedman, author of The Art of Arrow Cutting, and Shadows Bite

M. Christian always writes like a dream whether he’s creating fantastic visions or ghastly nightmares. With this collection, you get both!
- Paula Guran, DarkEcho

Jump into the slipstream of The Bachelor Machine and M.Christian will take you for a joyride – down into the places where nanoseconds seem to last an eternity and the orgasms are as big as Jupiter. Strap yourself on his rocket ship of soaring prose and fantastic plot, where your co-pilots have any gender, all gender and whose mission is to leave you breathless with desire and safely exhausted with satiation. Let The Bachelor Machine speed you on your way …
- William Dean, Clean Sheets

“Those of us who are alone get tired of all the mushy sentimentalism that companies use to sell their products,” says Daniel A. “Merchants bombard us with messages that say buy a gift for your loved ones, ignoring the impact of their message on the millions of people who choose to be alone.

Advertisements reinforce social pressures to pair off and get married. Society expects this of us, and any other lifestyle is seen as deviant or unacceptable. You can be a successful woman with a PHD and a million-dollar business, but if you’re not in a relationship, you’re missing out. You’re a failure. You can’t even start to live until you
have someone with whom to share your life.

This cultural expectation is absurd. Finding potential companions and dating them is a lot of work, hard work. It rarely pays off. The failed efforts often leave people more frustrated or depressed than if they had accepted their single status. And it takes time and energy away from more productive endeavors.

Those of us who choose to (or need to) be single deserve some recognition. We especially deserve to treat ourselves like whole people, not someone with a missing better half that can’t be found.

So this Valentine’s Day, ignore all the stupid marketing messages from candy and jewelry merchants. Ignore the remarks from friends and family that you ‘have to find someone’. Accept yourself as you are and do something to celebrate your lifestyle. Treat yourself to a gift. Indulge in a solo pleasure.”

The reclusive author, of course, is marking the occasion with a sale on his erotic audio stories at HypnoticDreams.com from Saturday, February 12 until the end of Valentine’s day.

When Mr. Greco has the time he also attempts to keep his ever-expanding ego from running amok in the wild environs of north New Jersey suburbia.

Servitus LA’s vicious head nurses will be conducting sadistic medical experiments, extreme procedures, dirty examinations and specimen collection, for the enjoyment of the Fetish Nation audience from the main stage of the Circus Disco. No anesthesia will be administered for this extreme performance.

Co-producer of Fetish Nation, Brandt Stebbins said, “Frankly, they kind of scared me with their proposal for this show. They say they will be testing the limits of human flesh in their medical fetish performance art piece. Between Servitus and Art of Bleeding with their blood spattered ‘safety demonstrations’, this may be the show that gets us shut down permanently.”

From information gathered by the Ministry of Propaganda for Fetish Nation, the show has been toned down a touch to avoid just that type of scene killing tragedy. “It’s way too bad We have limits with stage legalities…,” mussed Mistress Melissa.

Still, there may be a little more meat to the show than Stebbins and local law enforcement may be comfortable with. When queried about the nature of the centerpiece for their performance, Goddess Soma asked, “Is consensual amputation a crime?”

Audience participation is encouraged. Local favorites in very active attendance are CharlyB, Fetish Noir, The OtherWorld, and the Ladies of the Dominion. Slaves to fashion will be able to supplement their shopping fetish thanks to Hillary’s Vanity, Vamps and Tramps, Knightscross Leatherworks and Yxtabay, who will be showing off their latest goods at the event.

Club Fetish Nation would like to thank their patriotic sponsors, American Fetish Films [www.americanfetishfilms.com], Ian Rath’s FetishNation.com [www.fetishnation.com], Broken Door, LadieZNight.com [www.ladieznight.com] and Lair de Sade. Club Fetish Nation is located in the Circus Disco, at 6655 Santa Monica Blvd, in Hollywood. The doors open at 9:00 PM, and the party doesn’t stop until 3:00 AM.

love (as only you can when you’re 16). Mick Gyure and Diane Gilch.  Mark Phelan of Parsippany directs.
