Running Dry: A Novel

Ernst Doud is a middle-aged 154-year-old nonhuman painter living quietly in Los Angeles when he receives a cryptic letter from a lover he last saw in 1913, precisely at the moment he killed him-or so he had always thought. So begins M. Christian's debut novel, as unlike any book you have read as Doud is unlike any hero who has ever graced the pages of a novel. Set in contemporary Los Angeles, with excursions into the surreal outback of Southern California's high desert, Running Dry is a stunningly realized story of vengeance, loyalty, and the inescapable humanity of the inhuman.M. Christian's short stories have been collected in the books Dirty Words, Speaking Parts, and The Bachelor Machine.
