Story of a vampire that has created a lover back in the time of silent pictures. The story opens up with them being on the set of DW Griffith's Intolerance. Doud has changed his lover, Sergio. But it seems that Sergio is killing for the thrill of it rather than to stay alive. So Doud deems he needs to kill him. Sergio escapes and returns looking for Doud in the present day. Doud believes that Sergio has come to kill him after this long time. Doud takes his best friend and goes on the run. They get to a house Doud has in Barstow only to find a starving vampire lying in wait for them. This vampire has a message go to Needles, CA. Doud succeeds in overcoming the messenger and goes to Needles. Leaving his friend behind. Sergio in the mean time shows up at the house in Barstow. He convinces Doud's friend that he is in fact not there to kill him but rather to save him from another vampire that Sergio had created. Different take on the vampire mythos that is generally seen and a far cry from more "modern" vampire stories. The book was published in 2006.… (meer)

Reading The Bachelor Machine is like watching the literary equivalent of a colossal train wreck, except it’s far more erotic and enjoyable . . . even if it does leave you burdened with the same feelings of voyeuristic guilt after the carnage clears.

Most erotic science fiction imagines a civilization on the rise, one where the latest gadgets and technologies are things of wonder and awe. The future is usually bright and shiny, full of sparkling chrome and unblemished porcelain, and surrounded by the blinking lights and electric hum of technological perfection. With The Bachelor Machine, M. Christian looks past that technological honeymoon, imagining instead a civilization on the decline. In his future, the gadgets are tarnished and broken, exposing the ugly legacy of humanity’s twisted desires through their own malfunctioning machinations.

Yet, for all that, they are truly incredible toys to behold . . . the kind of gadgets that make you wonder just how much of yourself you’d be willing to sacrifice for a taste of the temporary pleasures they can provide.

Having said all that, the experience of reading The Bachelor Machine is not just one of technological wonder or erotic arousal. It’s also one of confusion and uncertainty, of equal measures dread and desire. These are stories that lead you on, draw you in, and take rude liberties with your expectations. Yes, reading them is like watching an erotic train wreck, but it’s more than that – it’s like enjoying the impending wreckage from inside a luxury sedan that’s stuck on the tracks . . . and being far too enthralled to abandon your seat.

The Bachelor Machine simply IS science fiction erotica. Take away the elements of either genre, or isolate one at the expense of the other, and you’re left with a nonsensical string of words. These are stories that only work because of the fusion between human sexuality and technological assistance that – like the best of M. Christian’s gadgets – truly are more than the sum of their parts.

It’s not the most accessible collection out there, but that’s as it should be. The stories here challenge the mind even as they arouse the body, and then twist that around and challenge the body as they arouse the mind. You need to settle in and immerse yourself in the worlds being created here. So long as you don’t mind getting a little rust, grease, and blood all over you, it’s a ride worth taking . . . whether you’re on the train, or in the luxury sedan stuck on the tracks.
