4.5 out of 5 stars Reviewing anthologies is a hard job because it’s so difficult to give each contribution their proper spotlight, and Fairy Tale Lust is no different. Here we have 18 erotic encounters of a fantastical nature, each as amazing as the one before it, making my job as reviewer really tough. Therefore, I’m just going to spotlight my top two picks in descending order (but trust me, every encounter is worth a read!). “Big Bad Wolf” by Alana Noël Voth — I have a major jones for werewolves so immediately I knew this would make my top two, but it wasn’t until I began reading that it became #1. “Big Bad Wolf” is an excerpt from Alana’s forthcoming novel of the same name and centers around Dillon, a bar owner who has recently noticed that a white wolf has taken up residence on his property. Despite hearing stories of missing chickens and close encounters of the wolf and children, Dillon continues to care for the animal. The wolf even begins sleeping in his bed and one morning he awakes to a naked woman where the wolf had been…and titillating hotness ensues. Alana is a marvelous writer and I adore Dillon (which is not really a big surprise seeing as how he is based on Sam Merlotte from True Blood and I am a massive–massive!!!!–Sam Merlotte fangirl). This story left me desperately wanting the novel. I can haz it now? “Her Hair Is A Net, Woven” by Shanna Germain — This short story tells about the waterman’s daughter, a mythical immortal woman who’s appearance at the town’s market gives an omen for the fate of the village’s crops. Her husband sleeps a hundred years in a day and when he wakes, will bring the storms. Together they will sit and she will crush a needle into palm and in the blood will be the face of the next man to drown … but will it be the villager she is secretly trysting with while her husband sleeps? The water imagery in this story is so beautifully provocative. I think this one above all felt most like a fairy tale to me. Overall, a wonderful collection of adult fairy tales which includes something for everyone. http://www.read-all-over.net/fiction/...

Michael Behe is a perfect example of Science gone wrong. He demonstrates that science has come so far in the past several decades that we now have more questions, and fewer answers, than ever before. Rather than inspiring him to seek out the hard-to-find answers, he seems content, indeed determined, to invoke a higher being as the answer to the difficult questions of science. The logic of his arguements is frustrating, to say the least, because it can't be argued. What ever he thinks he knows about biochemistry prevents him from even considering other potencial explanations. He holds stubbornly to science and the scientific method, yet the heart of his arguements are based on analogies to man-made machines, watches and mousetraps, that have almost nothing in common with real live organisms. Not content to compare apple to oranges, he compares apples to gameboys, then argues that no one would doubt the existence of gameboy engineers. How does one respond to this? Add to this a stubborn faith in a Creator God and the arguement completely exits the realm of science. Mr. Behe's book is a painstaking read, not only for it's lackluster prose and bad science, but most especially for it's arrogance and for the blinders that so obviously obstruct his vision of reality. Here's a clue, Michael: Natural systems portray the illusion of design because only those organisms, only those biochemical systems, only those MOLECULES that conform to the laws of the universe are able to survive, to exist. What is, is because it can be. All else parishes in the struggle for survival, the struggle for resources, the struggle for reproduction. We are here because we obey natures laws, because we have been shaped, tweaked, winnowed by those laws. "Irriducible complexity" is another name for "we don't know the details (yet)." And perhaps we'll never know. But what I do know is that Intelligent Design is an unfortunate product of intelligent people mixing up there causes and effects. Mr. Behe has been thoroughly discredited by science. It's just unfortunate that there are enough laymen with enough blind faith to keep his ideas circulating through the collective consciousness. Read this book for an exercise in patience, an exercise in cheek biting, or if you're really in to masochism.
