Tales from the Bear Cult: Best Bear Stories from the Best Magazines

This bear's in love with the pictures from Bear Magazine and the stories that get under my coat. Grwl. Woof. Wear is Bear Cult #2: The Sequel?

(...)P>Video is good but those video bears are the bears I see.<p>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. (...)<p>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.<p>All these Bear Cult authors with their hot tails deserve erotic praise for their work in Bear magazines and books.

It's about time that bears get our own book of fiction in this first book--The bear magazine editors who picked these stories and these photographs are the heroes here promoting bear society--The pix the authors took of themselves are good as it's nice to see who actually wrote the bear stories, Simon Sheppard, Jay Neal, Bob Vickery, Shaun Levin, Charles Eldridge--The book-video tie-in (plus the bear magazine photos) chronicles our bearishness as a separate category of male bonding--Plus I got a free video of the bears of the Folsom Street Fair. Waiting for Bear Cult 2, and more bear voices.

I'm a Bear Buster! I like words. I like pictures. "Bear Cult" gave me both. The stories are very into being "bear" in terms of truckers, loggers, bikers, etc. The photos are worth the price of admission. The stories are sexy in detail, even juicy, with excellent writing by Bob Vickery who tells tales of frontier bears, and Furr who writes about adventures in the woods. Charlie Eldredge writes about bear-sex in ancient Rome in a way that reminds me of the gladiator novels of Aaron Travis. There's even a nasty story by Shaun Levin about what goes on in the basement boiler room of an apartment building. And a sci-fi story of a futuristic musclebear athlete in bondage named "Earthbear." You can see why several bear magazine editors picked these stories for their erotic bear content. The color cover is worth framing. Actually, the back cover, also in full color, shows half a dozen sexy bears from Palm Drive Video as well as from the covers of "Bear" magazine. Also in the bear photos shot by Jack Fritscher, there's nasty cigars, especially Redneck Cowboy and Butch: Tattooed Aryan Biker. Woof, woof, woof. Recommended reading for LazyBear Weekend.

Grrr-owwwlll! Count this as a WOOF book of 17 stories with photographs, or as a book of 37 photographs with stories. Either way, I enjoyed this palm-driving book. It's about loggers, hitchhikers, bikers, maintenance men, truckers, and, mmm, yeah, Roman warriors. The stories are hot, even well-written, certainly attractively presented. As a bear who is also a bear-chaser, I found the photos--straight out of "Bear" magazine--as much as the stories to be great entertainment on nights when I was home alone with bear-grease on my face and a box of chocolates. The writers are bear-mag favorites: Clint Seiter, Jay Neal, Charlie Eldredge, Simon Sheppard, Ron Suresha, and Jack Fritscher who also shot all the bear photos. This book is a keeper for any serious Bear or Bear Chaser as well as any man big enough to call himself "Goldilocks." Do you have a problem with that? ...I didn't think so. Stick this book...on your Bear Shelf, or put it on your coffee-table where your "vistors" will get the "idea" of why you invited them over...
