Sex + Emotion = what the reader will get from this poetic text on the uses of language and love.

Celestial Vaulting.......2005-08-20

This erotica is remarkably poetic and certainly catapults the reader into a visonary state of mind, especially if good sex with a loved one had ever produced this blissful effect on the mind and heart. But reading this, I never doubted that this wasn't about two characters, rather it reads like the very vivid dream of one character, a man who is visited and taken away by his generic goddess through a series of morphing fulfillments.

An Ocean of Intimacy.......2005-08-16

"She is the sand rolling in his waves. Then, changing into water, she sluices and spreads over him." ~Wade Stevenson

Wade Stevenson has created a book written by the body's desires, the mind's fascination with language and the soul's deep longings. His work is poetic, profoundly beautiful and eternally spiritual.

As a man's desires merge with the mythology of the body, he experiences a completeness that occurs during the merging of souls. His unique connection with words invites the reader deeper into a profoundly spiritual and sensual relaxation into love.

A bed breathes with the experience of intimacy as two bodies disappear into sequences of yearning and release. Within each chapter, many experiences bond together to form an ecstatic escape into romantic possession. The lovers are alive together and become the earth, the sky and sea as they merge into oneness in a variety of locations.

"I want to give you the greatest happiness, she says. The happiness that some men wait all their lives for." ~the woman

Throughout the text, the woman of his desire speaks her truth and actively engages his imagination. She is shown in all her moods and moments and magical cuddling and coupling.

Read this with your love, or give this book to your partner and see what happens. My husband read this book a few days ago and it deepened our connection substantially. I read it today as the sun was rising and realized I had lived moments in this book because my husband was so inspired. We have been married for ten years and suddenly we are acting "in love" again.

What delighted me most about Wade Stevenson's writing is how close it is to my own experience of love. The water images and metaphors seemed to mirror my own inner imaginings. Like an ancient drum beating in an ancient land, the heartbeat of this book is primal and deep.

The story begins in mystery and ends with a moment of fascinating sensuality. I am beyond impressed and want to read everything this author has written and will write. His words are magical and will take your relationship to new depths if you read the book together.

~The Rebecca Review

Love Story.......2005-08-02

I never read a book like this before. I was wondering who the author was writing about, then I realized it was every woman,
it could have been me. Language is lyrical and passionate,
beautiful.

Passion and Obsession.......2005-07-28

This is a strong, intense book about passion and obsession.
It is just not just about sex. Sex is a vital part of it, but
in a really interesting way, Mr. Stevenson's book manages to
go beyond the simply erotic into a new and most interesting
area. That's why I liked it and recommend it. It's stimulating!

Modern Day "Song of Songs".......2005-07-14

Great little book, erotic and spiritual at the same time,
it's really about a man's search for the Infinite, and in
this way is a kind of modern-day "Song of Songs". A passionate
biblical song about love and desire and the search for
ultimate unity.

Solid 3+ saga, one of Tor's better offerings.......2004-08-08

Conan the Valorous is a solid 3.5 adventure. Compared to some of Tor's Conan disasters, it rates even higher. "Valorous" really contains two stories which are not exactly very related to one another. This hurts the overall feel of the book.

The over-arching story has to do with Conan's return to Cimmeria to fulfill a rash vow made to a Stygian sorceress who is bent on world domination. The under-arching story has to do with Conan's being distracted with an inter-tribal dispute in the Border Kingdoms on his way back to his native Cimmeria. While passing through the Border Kingdoms, Conan is intercepted by a chieftainess/Amazon hottie, Aelfrith, who is interested in employing him as a mercenary leader against her tribe's enemies. This portion of the book is fairly quick paced and enjoyable.

After dealing with this distraction to fulfilling his vow, Conan returns to Cimmeria. The author effectively fills in a lot of detail of Cimmerian life which I found to be congruent with Robert E. Howard's vision of Cimmeria. It is in this portion that the author fills in Conan's supporting cast. He befriends a young Cimmerian kinsman, Chulainn, who is in search of his kidnapped girlfriend. Another character brought to life at this point is a Khitan wizard who accompanies Conan and Chulainn on their missions. The wizard provides comic relief, but talks like a stereotypical Chinaman throughout the book. The author is also able to create some brooding and eerie landscapes along the way, as well as some strange Lovecraftian creatures that add to the book's appeal.

On the down side, certain phrases are repeated a little too often (e.g. "speaking a tongue which no human was ever intended to speak"). Conan is sometimes described as doing gymnastics (e.g. a triple midair somersault) that seem out of character to this reader. He also gets a little too chatty at times and tends to lose a little of his gruffness along the way. Certain elements of the story are not believable, such as Aelfrith's total trust in Conan, a stranger and a froreigner, at a time of war, as well as her utter confidence in his military prowess despite not having seen him in action. There is an overly graphic scene related to disembowelment that I could have lived without (sorry for being a weanie.)

But the final battle scenes are of an epic nature, and the reader will be satisfied with the ending in my opinion. I would have enjoyed the book more had the two stories within the book been more connected. Conan's relationship with Aelfrith was bittersweet, and could have been developed a little more in the overall plot of the book. Given the substance of recent Conan novels, this one is worth your time.

One of the better Conan novels.......2002-04-16

This is the third Conan novel I have read by this author and one of the strongest. Like the other two tales, this one involves a far reaching quest that takes Conan thru several different countries. Most of this story takes place in the Border Kingdoms and Cimmeria.

The author does a good job of depicting just how savage the Hyborean age is, and how cheap life was in that era. At the beginning of the book the author goes into detail on some very everyday things, such as Conan trying to buy a sword, which help the reader get a clearer idea of the world he lives in. Another nice touch is the reactions of the Cimmerians when he returns home. Conan is not viewed as a returning hero, but more as a man who was too soft to handle the Northern ways and had to go South. In many of the Conan stories people are just in awe of the bronze barbarian. This was a nice change of pace.

There's really two separtate stories here, the first where he fights in the Border Kingdoms and the second fulfilling his quest in Cimmeria. The Border Kingdom story is fast paced and action packed. Things slowed down a little in the Cimmeria story, but it was still very enjoyable. If the Mr. Roberts could have kept that level of quality up throughout the book I would have given it 5 stars. The last line of the book was vintage Conan!

One of the better Conan novels..........2000-06-25

Conan the Valorous is a refreshing read after some of the other Conan materiel that they've put out. It's got plenty of action, with humans, demons, gods, mages, you name it. It really gets into what life is like up in Cimmeria and the northern nations, and how those civilizations are organized. We get plenty of real Conan -- not terribly intelligent, but good in a fight and quick with his wits; not the 'detective' Conan which some authors have tried to pass off as the real thing. This is pure escapist reading, and it's better than most. It's definitely worth the few hours it will take you to read it.

First Conan book........1997-08-27

I was in an airport a little over 10 years ago and saw Conan the Valorous on a book shelf. I was curious after seeing the movie and picked it up. I have read fifty or more conan books since than. I still think this is on of the best. I lent it to friend and it was lost. I would like to get another copy. I hope they will print more copies in the future

The best yearly anthology.......2003-06-27

It's simple really, Dozois routinely edits the best anthology of the years short SF. Buy his first, others second.

Fantastic Survey of the Field!.......2001-07-21

Dozois is, and has long been, one of the best editors and anthologizers in all of SF. The anthology ranges over the many different sub-genres of Science Fiction, and I therefore cannot say I enjoyed all of his stories; nevertheless, all were well-written, and some of the stories were among the best I've ever read. I strongly recommend this and any other of Dozois' "Year's Best..." series.

The collaborative efforts of Ellen Datlow (horror) and Terri Windling (fantasy) are becoming something of a legend, as year after year they deliver the best horror and fantasy short fiction in a fat (500 double-length pages) anthology that avoids pigeonholes with its mingled, unlabeled sample of the two genres. As in previous years, this volume includes more than 100 pages of summaries about the year 1997 in horror and fantasy publishing, horror and fantasy in the media, and comics. The fiction includes 18 stories and 8 poems with just Terri Windling's initials, and 18 stories and 1 poem with Ellen Datlow's initials, with some (presumably dark fantasy) that are tagged by both.

Even more than usual, Ellen Datlow's horror selections introduce a remarkable variety of types of stories. One of the best tales is Molly Brown's "The Psychomantium," about a mirror that allows alternative time lines to intersect, creating double fates for the characters. "The Skull of Charlotte Corday" (photos included) by Leslie Dick takes an essayistic approach to a famous female assassin and some creepy details in the history of sexual surgery. Douglas Clegg's "I Am Infinite, I Contain Multitudes" is a striking body-horror tale that was nominated for a Bram Stoker Award. Christopher Harman, P.D. Cacek, Joyce Carol Oates, and Vikram Chandra contribute old-fashioned ghost stories. Gary Braunbeck's "Safe" is reminiscent of the best of Stephen King in its portrayal of realistic horror in a small town. Michael Chabon's "In the Black Mill" more than proves that Lovecraftian horror can transcend shallow pastiche. And other horror notables--such as Michael Cadnum, Christopher Fowler, Caitlín Kiernan, Stephen Laws, Kim Newman, Norman Partridge, and Nicholas Royle--make appearances.

Terri Windling's selections include familiar fantasy names such as Peter Beagle, Charles de Lint, Karen Joy Fowler, and Jane Yolen, and famous genre-crossers such as Ray Bradbury, Howard Waldrop, and Jack Womack. She also provides welcome space for fantasy poetry--charming pieces with images of the Trickster Coyote, Sheela Na Gig, and a mermaid, and titles like "Coffee Jerk at the Gates of Hell." The Pulitzer Prize-winning Steven Millhauser contributes an enchanting tale that originally appeared in the New Yorker. Other tales are inspired by an intriguing range of sources: Gulliver's Travels, Marilyn Monroe, the Scottish legend of the Sineater, the art of glass blowing, Aztec myth, and ancient Jewish lore.

There's no better way to take in the best of these two genres, both for the great selections and the ample pointers to 1997's novels, magazines, art, movies, and comics that you may not have heard about. --Fiona Webster

Another Satisfying Entry In The Series.......2006-02-07

I collect this series hungrily. There are always at least 10 stories that excite and amaze me, and I do feel they can honestly be called "the best" of each year. I also buy stacks of other genre anthologies, none of which demonstrate such consistent quality. How there came to be a gap on my shelf where this volume ought to be I'm not sure, but I did find out while shopping for its replacement what others have discovered: it is frustratingly difficult to get an accurate report of the contents of each of these volumes. Of the several well-written and helpful reader reviews, one refers to the 11th edition, another, while begging Amazon to represent it faithfully, nevertheless is clearly misfiled, describing the contents of the 14th. To be sure, even as I snarl and curse my way through the tangle of confusion I salute each reviewer's insights; I only wish their efforts could be properly represented. To help other benighted seekers, I'm suggesting a visit to this site, an extremely valuable and meticulously maintained resource.

Snnorrrrre Snnnorrrreeeee.......2003-05-07

For some reason, the folks at Amazon keep posting my reviews for this series in the wrong place, so expecting that to happen again this time, let me clarify: The review is covering the FOURTEENTH edition.

Years ago, I made the mistake of taking "The Year's Best" title seriously, and rushed out and bought all the books in the series I could get my hands on. That turned out to be a BIG mistake, as Editors Ellen Datlow & Terri Windling seem to have very different ideas from me about what makes a good story. Luckily, this is the last volume I was unfortunate enough to purchase.

I'll skip the usual complaints this time out. I won't rant about the overlong year-in-review segments. I won't mention the fact that Windling's Fantasy selections monopolixe the book. I won't utter a word about Windling's bizarre penchant for poetry and rehashed versions of older-than-dirt fairy-tales. I'll concentrate on the stories that were actually readable.

Charles de Lint contributes another Newford story, "Granny Weather"; As usual, it's a good read.
Ramsey Campbell offers up two creepy little gems, "No Strings", and "No Story In It".
Jack Dann's "Marilyn" turns a young boy's sexual fantasy into a waking nightmare.
Glen Hirschberg's "Mr. Dark's Carnival" is a great haunted house tale.
Ian Rodwell & Steve Duffy's "The Penny Drops" is waaayyy too long, but the knockout ending makes the suffering worthwhile.
Bret Lott's "The Train, The Lake, The Bridge" could almost be a true story, and it's all the creepier for that.
Jonathan Carroll's "The Heidelberg Cylinder" is a hilariously bizarre tale that needs to be read to be appreciated.
Jack Ketchum contributes "Gone", a short but excellent halloween tale.
Paul J. McAuley's "Bone Orchards" is a follow up to his tale from the previous Year's collection, "Naming The Dead"; It's a real treat, and I'd love to see more with the main character.

Search out the aforementioned Authors, by all means; Just don't waste your money on this stankass series....unless you have MUCH more patience than me.

Tedious, Overblown, Pretentious, Overwritten.............2003-04-23

I really can't be bothered doing my usual story-by-story review, since most of the stories stunk. I'm not a big Fantasy fan, so my distaste for the Fantasy side of the book shouldn't be a big surprise. I'll just reiterate my usual complaint about Fantasy Editor Terri Windling's half (More like 2/3rd's..) of the book: Waaaaayyy too much Fantasy, to the point where the Horror stories get short shrift. Ellen Datlow's Horror selections also leave a lot to be desired, as the truly distinctive voices of modern Horror fiction, like Bentley Little, Jack Ketchum, Edward Lee, Richard Laymon, et al, continue to not be represented, while told-by-rote Victorian-era wannabes dominate the book.

(My original review was much longer, and I did single out particular stories/Authors for praise, and recommended some of the individual anthologies, but the review-censorship gang at Amazon saw fit to chop off four whole paragraphs of my review! Thanks, @ssholes!)

Another Year, Another Snooze-Fest...........2003-01-07

Made it through another one!!! Once again, Fantasy Editor Terri Windling runs roughshod over Horror Editor Ellen Datlow- Windling weighs in with 26 stories, Datlow with 19. (Datlow continues to beat the drum for awful-poetry lovers everywhere, with no less than EIGHT poems...Yuck.)

As usual, the book opens with Windling's interminably long overview on The Year in Fantasy, which is really no more than a list of every book that's come out that year, along with her rambling on and on about "Magical Realism" for what seems like 5000 pages. I read one page, skimmed the rest, didn't miss a thing.

On to Datlow's Year in Horror- Slightly more interesting, but still WAAY too long. Skimmed once again...

Edward Bryant's Horror and Fantasy in the Media overview is interesting reading, but it seems as if Bryant just throws every movie he's seen into the mix. Does "In the Company of Men" really qualify as Fantasy or Horror...? Seth Johnson's Year in Comic Books overview is very interesting, and considering how much Windling drones on, I don't think it would kill them to let Johnson have a few more pages than he does.

On to the stories themselves....There are a LOT of stories that are bad, if not downright AWFUL, in this book, and most of them go on MUCH too long. Among the Awful/Overlong are: The meandering, pointless "The Skull of Charlotte Corday", "It Had To Be You", which would have been cute if had been 20 pages shorter; Charles Grant's head-scratching yawn-a-thon "Riding the Black", ... "In the Fields" was so bad I actually had to skip to the next story; I also couldn't finish Peter S. Beagle's "The Last Song of Sirit Byar"- It seemed like the song had no end.....

It's not ALL bad, though. Standout stories include "Gulliver at Home", which tells of Lemuel Gulliver's time at home between voyages; "I Am Infinite; I Contain Multitudes" has one of the nastiest scenes I've ever read, and packs a hell of a punch; Nicholas Royle's "Mbo" delivers a nasty spin on the Dracula legend; Gary A. Braunbeck's "Safe" is a moving tale of the aftermath of a gruesome mass-murder; "El Castillo De La Perseverancia" is THE weirdest story I've ever read...Mexican Wrestlers vs. Aztec monsters! It's like a Santos movie in print! "Residuals" tells the hidden history of Alien-abduction in America, and Michael Chabon delivers a ripping good H. P. Lovecraft pastiche "In the Black Mill". Christopher Fowler's "Spanky's Back!" is good sick fun, and Stephen Laws' "The Crawl" presents a far-fetched tale of road-rage that still manages to evoke a chill.

While there ARE some worthwhile reads here, the book is more pain than pleasure to read. Proceed at your own risk!

Year's Best Fantasy and Horror 15.......2002-10-19

This latest edition contains useful discussions of fantasy and horror publications over the last year (2000-1). I've noticed that increasing attention is given to small press items which most readers will have trouble getting their hands on, as well as media, anime, etc. which are of less interest to me. It was disappointing to see that horror novels were just listed, not discussed. Still, the fantasy section described several works that I'll be seeking out.

Stories in this anthology have over the years become increasingly literary and perhaps are not the most accessible examples of the genre. Imagery and style take precedence over plot and character in most of the works reprinted here. Perhaps the best story in the volume was one about a boy who "swallows a faerie", an elegant metaphor for creativity and its repression--I regrettably forget the author but recommend the piece. Also, Norman Partridge contributed a strong work of historical fantasy.

A Good Place to Start.......2007-07-18

This is a great basic starting place for those who don't know how to cook. It is also quite useful for those of us who know how to cook but may not have learned all the basics of preparing a meal. I love to cook and I am pretty good at creating my own meals out of ingredients I have on hand but there were many things I never learned how to do correctly. This book helped me to fill in the gaps that were missing from my cooking repertoire.

This book is great for those of us who are growing up in families that don't have time to teach us the basics of cooking. In today's convenience-driven society many lessons that were taught as a natural part of living have been forgotten. This is a great gift for someone just starting out on their own.

If you cook like Martha Stewart then this isn't the book for you. If you could use some lessons in learning how to set up a kitchen efficiently and learn how to chop food quickly then this is a great resource for your kitchen!

More basic than I thought but still good.......2007-05-29

I am actually a better informed cook than I thought. This book has shown me that. I love Leanne and the Flylady. They have really helped me get past the funk I found myself in after having children and all the extra time consuming things that come with them. Clutter and daily dinner cooking (my dh used to do the cooking before kids) really took a tole on me cause I was not trained as a kid to be a "housewife." Thank goodness! However, I am now in a self training program with these ladies and even the most basic book, such as this one, is helping me figure things out. I'm glad I own it and don't have to borrow from the library as it will be much easier to reference.

Great for New Cooks!.......2007-04-11

I bought this for my son when he went moved into his first apartment. Very informative.

Excellent tips on how to set up a kitchen........2007-02-03

I haven't tried the recipes yet, but I can see that this book is really useful. I'm looking forward to putting her ideas into use in my kitchen.

Fun for all.......2007-02-02

Even if you (like me) know how to cook this is still a great book to have. Leanne gives some helpful tips about setting up your kitchen, prep, work, and entertaining. There are some splendid simple recipes that alone make this book a worthwhile purchase. The chicken quesodillas as well as the basic soup are 2 of my favorites. This would make a great wedding gift or would be perfect for someone just moving out on their own.
