11 tales of Carnival in the Big Easy.......2004-08-03
Mardi Gras [French 'Fat Tuesday']
- Shrove Tuesday, celebrated as a holiday with carnivals, masquerade balls, and parades of costumed merrymakers
- a carnival period coming to a climax on this day
- THE AMERICAN HERITAGE DICTIONARY
"The festival of Mardi Gras is a tradition dating back more than 200 years. Its roots can be traced back to the Latin 'carnivale', which means - roughly - 'farewell to flesh'. The premise was simple: a time of great feasting prior to the time of fasting that traditionally begins with Ash Wednesday."
- Davis' introduction
Many of the contributors have taken the 'farewell to flesh' theme and run with undead characters of one sort and another: vampires, ghosts (even the Haunted New Orleans tour), zombies (of course, in the land of voodoo), and wierder entities. Others (sometimes in the same story) have taken the theme of sacrifice, when the king/queen of a festival feted in high style shouldn't make long range-plans.
And, of course, there are the krewes - the societies (ranging from brand-new to very old) that run various Mardi Gras masked balls as well as the parades punctuating the festival. In a city with over fifty such organizations, surely a few may be more than they seem. While the most ancient krewes are traditionally closed organizations - if you have to ask about joining, don't expect to - the younger krewes may be freer with invitations to strangers...
Bischoff, David: "May Oysters Have Legs" Tony Viti considers himself a sophisticated hitman - he's been all over the country, even to New Orleans. Unfortunately, he's unfamiliar with the more creative uses of Dixieland jazz funerals, and didn't know that his target's into voodoo...
Braunbeck, Gary A.: "Down in Darkest Dixie Where the Dead Don't Dance" Pete Russell's calling as a homicide cop broke his heart, bringing him to a suicide's deathbed this Mardi Gras. But death brings him one final case, as a fellow ghost's killers hunt yet again. Russell's hideous flashbacks will haunt readers even as they enjoy his exchanges with the Goth chick whose murder he seeks to avenge ("I'm tired of being hassled by the Man!").
Crowther, Peter: "Songs of Leaving" New Orleans' last festival, as Earth awaits the asteroid 'Fat Tuesday'. But the city has taken to heart the old Cajun adage, "Come the end of the world, we *better* be dancin'...", facing the end with both style and dignity. [The F/SF elements weren't necessary to make this a good story.]
Davis, R.: "Fat Tuesday" Narrator Martin Grant, a freelance writer, enjoys covering the underside of public events; hearing of the 'Vampire John' serial killings this Mardi Gras, how can the man who uncovered the 'werewolf' Times Square Murders resist? But catching the perpetrator seems unlikely: a scant physical description - tall and strong, judging by some of the victims, no hair or fibers left at the scene...
de Lint, Charles: "Masking Indian" (collected in de Lint's TAPPING THE DREAM TREE) Braided format, alternating 1st-person POV of Marley Butler and 3rd-person Wendy and Jilly of the Newford stories. Marley's POV recalls her youth as a runaway "looking for her black roots among the Black Indian tribes that rule the Mardi Gras". Wendy and Jilly find her haunted by memories (?) of her old mentor's ritual costume.
Helfers, John: "Farewell to the Flesh" Seth, like Indiana Jones, recovers stolen artifacts and art objects under exotic circumstances; when we first encounter him, he's preventing a human sacrifice by a Cthulhu-mythos-type cult (Lovecraft's de Marignys, although from New Orleans, aren't mentioned). But Seth loves Mardi Gras for unusual reasons. "After all, there are enough fake vampires roaming around, what's one more, even if I am real?"
Holder, Nancy: "Skeleton Crewe" emphasizes fasting as well as feasting. The anorexic protagonist is out of hospital only after running out of insurance, but for Lent, she's giving up her brinksmanship of spurning flesh for spirit - only to encounter the strangest krewe parade of all.
Lindskold, Jane: "Sacrifice" 'The festival has been explained as a farewell to the eating of meat before the long Lenten fast. It is curious, however, that the places where Carnival has survived most powerfully - even though Lent now requires no more than a token sacrifice - is where living water is most powerful...Farewell to the flesh. Farewell to the body of the girl who will give herself to the water so the water god will not take the city.' The story focuses on Mirabelle, one of the debutantes at the once-in-a-lifetime Bride's Ball from among whom the river's queen will be chosen. [Apart from Mirabelle's courage at facing the unknown, a number of fascinating 'echoes' are sketched in between the Ball and the unconscious tributes paid by the revellers of the surrounding city: the parades, the krewes, the crowned monarchs.]
Rogers, Bruce Holland: Sensation-seeking Andy happily accepts the title "King Corpus" offered by a 'most ancient' krewe with a one-float parade. They offer all the pleasures of the flesh - but at what price?
Scarborough, Elizabeth Ann: "The Invisible Woman's Clever Disguise" for the Krewe of Melusine's ball was chosen at the last minute; having been invisible for years, she never expected even junk mail, let alone a mysterious invitation slipped under her door. [The prologue of how people gradually began to look through her as she didn't make time to see others, is *very* clever, without taking the same tack as Silverberg's "To See the Invisible Man".]
West, Michelle: The krewe summoning Susan to Mardi Gras requires only "Faces Made of Clay" for admission to the ball: the ceramic mask accompanying the invitation. Susan's concern is with another mortal clay altogether: the memory of her family, 15 years lost, at whose graves the invitation was delivered.
Pretty good book, but I have a few problems with it.......2002-01-31
This book is great for those of us who like stories with a twist, stories about Mardi Gras, or just plain good reading. Overall, I think it is a great collection of short stories that, for the most part, are entertaining to read.
Here's one of the main problems that I have with the book. If it's a collection of stories about New Orleans Mardi Gras, why do most of the stories appear to be written by British authors? If you look, you'll see some traits of UK vocabulary and spelling, such as using "realise" when a US author would have spelled it "realize". That doesn't give these authors as much credibility to me, but, who really cares?
I think the last story of the book was DEFINITELY the best. If you've ever been to New Orleans and done one of the Haunted History tours, you'll surely recognize the characters in this story. Wonderful!!
Not for the faint of heart!.......2001-04-26
Mardi Gras Madness is a collection of eleven stories by as many authors, the topics ranging from the light-hearted to the macabre. All of the stories are set primarily in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. Definitely recommended for those who enjoy dark tales of murder and the supernatural. The stories will send delightful chills of terror down your spine, and make you want to sleep with the lights on.
This book would make a good purchase for those with a-- twisted-- sense of humor. All eleven are short stories, but there are elements in many of them that will have you going back to read it again.
One of my personal favorites out of this book was "The Invisible Woman's Clever Disguise", one of the more light-hearted pieces about a middle-aged woman from Portland who discovers she's become invisible, and decides to have a bit of fun. She goes to New Orleans for her first Mardi Gras, where she gets an surprise invitation from a new and rather unorthodox krewe.
Two more of my favorites are "Farewell to the Flesh", a decidely darker tale about a vampire who gets involved with a group of cultists; and "Down in Darkest Dixie Where the Dead Don't Dance", another dark story about the spirits of New Orleans and the ones that return to do their evil work, year after year.
I highly recommend this book, all of the stories are absolutely wonderful!

Super Reader.......2007-08-30
An Omnibus edition that includes three books.
Elric of Melnibone
Elric is the emperor of a declining civilisation. It is threated from without, by the 'lesser' races of humanity.
He also has to deal with the power plays and ambitions of his relatives, and has his own illnesses to bear, as well.
However, he has a plan. He doesn't realise what and who it will cost him to carry it out, as he makes a deal with Chaos.
5 out of 5
The Sailor On the Seas of Fate
There are three parts to this book. Sailing to the Future includes the crossover where Elric meets, Erekose, Hawkmoon and Corum aboard the Dark Ship of the Captain.
Then there is Sailing to the Present, and Sailing to the Past. The latter is a reworked version of the Jade God's Eyes.

and
The Weird of the White Wolf
The Weird of the White Wolf also is a book that contains several smaller pieces of work, namely :
The Dream of Earl Aubec
The Dreaming City
While the Gods Laugh
The Singing Citadel
The first is a quick Eternal Champion interlude.
In the Dreaming City Elric returns to the Dragon Isle to attack his cousin, who is holding his lover captive.
While the Gods Laugh show Elric journeying with Moonglum, his version of the Companion to Champions, to find the Dead Gods Book.
The Singing Citadel is a building with the properties of a siren, basically. Elric and Moonglum investigate.

Sword and Sorcery with Art and Intelligence.......2007-01-30
Moorcock is an excellent writer. His most obvious talent, to me, is his ability to drive both his story and his character's development via the same dark and despairing prose. Even when he writes the brightest, most gorgeous days, in the Elric saga, they are undercut by a real feeling of weight, depression, despair, and fatalism. This contrast can be shocking, especially if you have not previously read anything else by Moorcock.
Moorcock's ability to build a character, and his methods, fall somwhere between Tolkien's action based and Gene Wolfe's sometimes explanatory styles. His prose is as dark as that of Mervyn Peake, though Moorcock is less poetic, and is much more focused on action. This collection of the first three books of the Elric portion of his even larger "Eternal Champion" multiverse, holds, in my opinion, some of the best fantasy available on the market. The story is less predictable an more engaging, more 'different' than I have been accustomed too by years of McCaffrey, Terry Brooks, Salvatore, etc. dominating the fantasy fields. Moorcock brings back the strangeness that, almost twenty years ago, enticed me into the genre of fantasy, via Tolkien's books.
I do not wish to equate Moorcock to Tolkien. Moorcock is a very, VERY different writer, with a style that is very, VERY much his own. It is a good, strong style. It is even a, dare I say it, UNIQUE style, in a literary genre that is consistently derided for the lack of new works with original writing styles. I highly recommend the purchase of both this collection and its sequel collection, 'The Elric Saga, Part II'. They offer an engaging and enjoyable reading experience.
A rare achievement.......2005-06-17
I'm truly sorry for having taken so long in discovering Michael Moorcock. The element of the supernatural in his stories is as uncanny and unearthly as in vintage Robert E. Howard and H.P. Lovecraft. Definately the most addictive fantasy I've picked up in some time: the prose runs on adrenaline, every chapter ending on a hook that makes the book nearly impossible to put down. But it is the Elric character that bestows upon this series its deserved immortality. An albino, a weak offspring who should've died and yet lived on to become the most powerful sorcerer of his age...Elric is the archetype of all visionaries throughout the ages - those who felt the burden of existence too intensely to bear it. Those whom the rest of humanity both requires and scorns.
Moorcock Delivers!.......2004-04-14
Next to Tolkein, The Elric Saga is likely the best fantasy ever produced. Moorcock's portrayal of his characters is both vivid and wonderfully done. The power of his prose is flawless, and the books simply grab the reader and hurl them into a land where Chaos and Order strive for the souls of men. Elric is one of the best fantasy characters of all time. If you love fantasy and long for something akin to Tolkein quality, this is the series for you. Moorcock is a master storyteller.

In response to the "Spotlight Reviews".......2005-12-29
In defense of one of the greatest and most original sagas in the annals of heroic fantasy, I would like to address some of the negative comments (and misconceptions) of the Spotlight Reviews.
First and foremost, the Elric Saga is a tragedy. None of the stories have a particularly happy ending, and the final book, "Stormbringer", ends along the same lines; sad, but dramatically fulfilling. One should consider that when Moorcock first started writing these, tragedy was virtually unheard of in Sword and Sorcery Fiction. This is not Tolkien. The hero does not get the girl and ride off into the sunset. If that's what you're looking for, you should avoid Moorcock and seek satisfaction elsewhere.
Secondly, the story that everyone has the most problem with, "The Dreaming City", is actually the FIRST Elric story that Moorcock ever wrote. He did not write these chronologically. As it stands, "The Dreaming City" is the most pivotal, and arguably, the most important story in the entire Elric Saga. It's the story that defines the character and his subsequent actions throughout the rest of the series. One person noted that Elric's actions (in leaving S. Baldhead to die in order to save himself) was uncharacteristic. Well, its supposed to be uncharacteristic, BECAUSE THE CHARACTER UNDERGOES A PROFOUND CHANGE IN THIS STORY. The character of Elric at the end of "The Dreaming City" is not the same character at the beginning of the saga. In the first two novels, he is idealistic as well as naive (especially in trusting Yrkoon a second time). But after his actions bring ruin to everyone he cares about, he becomes embittered and vengeful, all the way up until midway through "The Bane of the Black Sword", where the character changes once again. As for the complaints that some of his actions are inexplicable and inconsistent, I must remind the readers that Elric is a drug addict. His sword, Stormbringer, is his addiction. Anyone who has ever dealt with addiction in the real world, either directly or as an observer, can tell you that an addict's actions are often illogical and inconsistent.
The idea that Elric never really cared about Cymoril is ludacrous. Anyone who gained that from reading the stories must not have been paying very close attention. While I don't like to give away spoilers (unlike some people, who are content to ruin it for everyone just because they personally didn't like it), I will say that the tragic events of "The Dreaming City" haunt Elric throughout the rest of the saga.
In closing, I would suggest not to prejudge the series based on this one book. Reserve your judgement until you've completed the entire saga.
Five stars. Highly recommended.
A Long Journey.......2003-11-05
A Review by Joe
The Book follows an Albino emperor, named Elric who has given up his ruling of his land. Elric has done this in order to find out why he is on earth, why he exists. The book takes the reader along on all of Elric's journeys to find the meaning of life. Elric goes to many lands and fights off many mystical creatures to find this out. He will meet many new friends along the way, and the reader will lose some friends too, as you go along on his journeys.
I like how the book always kept me wanting more. The stories in the book are just as exciting as the next. It makes the reader feel like you are right next to Elric. The book is so descriptive. It almost makes the reader think that the monsters are real. I really like this description of Elric and his new found friend Shaarilla mounting their horses. "They mounted there swift, black horses and spurred them with abandoned savagery down the hillside towards the marsh, their clocks whipping behind them lashing them high into the air." In the book the vocabulary was easy enough, but I could not understand some of the names. I kept wanting to call Elric, Eric. I really thought that the cities were hard to pronounce like Jharokor, Imrryr, and Melnibone.
I recommend this book to readers who like adventure, fantasy books. This book has all of those great genres jammed packed into on whole book.
a repetitive and hugely unfulfilling disappointment.......2003-02-21
In all honesty, I find WEIRD OF THE WHITE WOLF to be a frustrating disappointment. Like SAILOR ON THE SEAS OF FATE, this third installment of the Elric Saga is essentially a collection of three, disjointed tales pitting Elric against only slightly varying opponents and obstacles. WOLF, to it's credit, is slightly more coherent than SAILOR, but it's repetitive and terribly unfulfilling.
The Elric Saga is great fun out of the gate, with ELRIC OF MELNIBONE telling an original, complete tale of love, war, and betrayal...and with a compelling open end, to boot. But nothing is done with it. Elric drifts near-aimlessly through the second volume, and here, in volume three, Elric's much-awaited return...along with the Dreaming City's destruction, is glossed over in a mere 60 pages(!), only to return Elric to his tired, pointless wandering where he spends his time largely bemoaning his existence.
Once again, there're quicksand-like marshes, organic tunnels which take the belly of the whale metaphor a bit too literally, seemingly abandoned building's which give birth to ghastly monsters within, and stray companions who are easily disposable. It's all just more of the same, with a poorly relayed love interest haphazardly thrown in.
To reiterate, Elric's much-anticipated return to Melnibone is a shameful bust. We off-handedly find out that Elric is once again dethroned by his cousin, that his betrothed has once again been put to sleep by a spell, and that Elric is once again considered an outcast. No time is spent exploring his relationship with his hateful cousin Yyrkoon, Cymoril is a total non-entity as she sleeps right up until her unfortunate death, and Elric's other established friends and supporters from the first volume are completely ignored. I can't emphasize how much of a let-down all of this is. Elric secretly visits the Dreaming City days before its destruction...if he had but one conversation with a coherent Cymoril, or a brief, friendly encounter with his friend and supporter Dyvim Tvar (who isn't even mentioned!), this could have been infinitely better, allowing the reader to at least momentarily empathize with Elric. But alas, all the potential energy is fruitlesslly discarded.
I feel as if Moorcock became completely disinterested in the Dreaming City and wanted to be done with it as soon as possible, deferring, instead, to the enveloping (and boring) relationship of Elric and his symbiotic sword.
In my opinion, it's just a huge, wasted opportunity. Perhaps, if I were 14 years old again, none of this would matter and I'd be content with all the soul-sucking and incantations. But as an installment in a series with such a strong first part, WEIRD OF THE WHITE WOLF has extinguished any desire of mine to continue with the Saga.
Moorcock, you lost me.
3 of 6: Back to Melnibone.......2003-01-28
Michael Moorcock, The Weird of the White Wolf (DAW, 1977)
The third book in the Elric series introduces the reader to Moonglum, Elric's longtime companion (and, thanks to AD&D's Deities and Demigods book, the companion most readers can't imagine him without). Much of the second novel moved away from the events of the first, and concentrated Elric's character on other adventures. The Weird of the White Wolf brings Elric back to Melnibonë along with Moonglum, their friend Smiorgan Baldhead, and an army of raiders bent on overthrowing Yyrkoon, who stole the throne when Elric left Melnibonë for a year to travel the world. For those wondering, whether you've read the book or not: the "weird" of the title is an archaic definition of the term, given by Merriam Webster as "One's assigned lot or fortune, especially when evil." And when he finds it, he's not all that happy about it. But that's to be expected when one's antihero has a crisis of conscience, I guess.
Certainly not a slow book by any means, nor a weak one in the context of the series. And it's definitely a necessity as a prelude to what comes after it. But I still felt there was something missing here; some pieces of description left out, a few places where things could have been filled in better. All of the Elric novels are short, to say the least (Stormbringer, the last and longest of them, clocks in a 217pp.), and feel as if they could use some fleshing out; this one, however, gives that feeling the most. One wonders if the brevity of them was not the insistence of the publisher, and what Moorcock would do with them, given the opportunity (a la King's unexpurgated edition of The Stand). Loads of fun, and highly recommended for fantasy and non-fantasy readers alike, as is the whole series. ****

Elric Volume 2: The Sailor On The Seas Of Fate
ASIN: 080957196X |
Book Description
Michael John Moorcock is a prolific English writer primarily of science fiction and fantasy who has also published a number of literary novels. Morrcock's most famous popular works by far have been the Elric novels, starring the character Elric of Melnibone. In these books, Elric is an anti-hero written as a deliberate reversal of what Moorcock saw as cliches commonly found in fantasy adventure novels. Weird of the White Wolf is the third of a six-volume series of the original stories written about the albino prince.
Book Description

"Magda Gerber's approach will deepen your understanding of your baby and help you truly appreciate the complexity, competence, and amazing capacities of the small human being for whom you are caring." —Jeree H.

R-e-s-p-e-c-t... find out what is means to baby.......2007-07-15
A great book for all parents! This book gives an in depth explanation of the RIE philosophies. It is well written and organized. I think it is better written than Magda Gerber's first book Dear Parent: Caring for Infants With Respect (2nd Edition). RIE offers parents a nice structure that helps promote a loving connected relationship between parent and child. Like any parenting philosophy, it is important that parents pick and choose what feels right for your particular family. I recommend this book to any parent that wants to raise a confident baby.

Author of The A to Z Guide to Raising Happy, Confident Kids
Excellent Read!.......2007-05-16
Recommended to me by my college Professor a Dr. of Child Development. It was a great way to pull all of the methods we learned in class about positive and developmentally facilitating group care for Infants and Toddlers into my home so I could care for my own child while still encouraging his learning and creating a well adjusted child. Although this book does not talk about the research done on her methods, my class certainly did, and the finding were quite telling. I recommend watching video footage of the infants who have been raised and taught with these methods, IT IS AMAZING to see what a child so small is capable of doing on their own. I am excited to see my own children excel with her methods.....
Gerber.......2007-05-09
Very good to get a newer version on the child care examples for which our Center is based upon.
Sort of a strange take on some things.......2007-04-05
While the book has some great ideas and questions our assumptions about how we interact with babies, some ideas of this approach seem odd. Such as seeing the act of burping your baby as hitting? Or that rocking your baby is inappropriate? I very much agree with another reviewer who said this book is written in a "know-it-all" tone, too. I only tolerate that tone when there is research to back it up.
Reconnects you with the basic simple act of communicating.......2006-09-29
This is an amazing philosophy. It may seem like it's contradicting so many of the hushing and quieting methods prevalent today, but once you delve into it, you realize that listening to your baby is the key to understanding their needs and thus opening up a genuine communication with your child. Practicing this approach is grounding and relaxing and we can't say enough about how much it's allowed our child to develop into a fully independent, self aware confident baby, not to mention that as parents, we feel authentic and connected to our child.
