Summary: Beariffic Hairy Putter: 1-handed reading by good writers
Comment: Even in these days of video and DVD, I think there's nothing better under my bed than a good filthy book because the words bring up my favorite images in my head.

Video is good but those video bears are the bears I see.

On the other paw, reading like "Tales of Bear Cult" conjures up the bears of my imagination. So reading hardens my more personal bearish fantasies.

It's like the argument about music videos or the movie Harry Potter. If you hear a song without MTV visuals, or read the text of Harry Potter, the images in your head are yours, but if you watch a music video or the movie Harry Potter then you always see the images someone else gave you on the screen.

That's something I think about, although I do very much enjoy the photographs in both Bear Cult books by editor Hemry (37 photos) and photographer Nelson (55 photos). They help my hairy puttering hand, but don't intrude on my personal imagination.

All these Bear Cult authors with their hot tails deserve erotic praise for their work in Bear magazines and books: Bob Condron, Jack Fritscher, Ron Suresha, Simon Shepherd, John Coriolan, Jay Neal, to name a few.

Summary: Wins ForeWord Silver Award for Best Erotica 2002
Comment: I"m a buyer (and reviewer) for a book outlet, so I pay attention to what sells and what wins awards--especially in Manhattan.

Authors in this book won 2nd Place Best Erotic Fiction in U. S. from the prestigious ForeWord Awards at the national Book Expo America, in New York, May 3, 2002. The ForeWord Awards are straight mainstream awards that honor lesbigay writing annually. This acknowledgment of gay writing in the bear genre brings honor to us bears everywhere.

Many of the authors in this book are also much published in other books and magazines, Simon Sheppard, Ron Suresha, Bob Condron, Jack Fritscher, and Shaun Levin. I enjoyed the book, and was happy to see all the writers win collectively. I also think the cover and the use of photos inside, to make the book as appealing visually as a magazine, was a good idea that probably helped it win.

Summary: STINK-O-RAMA
Comment: I read many of these stories in the magazines they were originally published in, and it is quite clear they've been EXTENSIVELY edited, some would say rewritten, for this volume -- and NOT for the better.

I rated it one star because one can't rate something ZERO stars. If you think you liked the stories in this ... thing, track down the original versions -- I'm sure you'll like them more! (I find it interesting that the editors of this volume didn't include info on exactly what magazine and issue each story came from -- probably didn't WANT people going back and making comparisons...)
