Fog, by Jeff Mann

In the 91st podcast of Bear Soup:

The first three chapters from Jeff Mann’s new book, Fog: a novel of desire and reprisal.””Outside an isolated cabin, winter fog caresses spruce trees. Inside, two men, lovers, have enacted a plan of revenge, kidnapping the handsome son of the man who wronged one of them. Al, the accomplice, has stalked Rob for weeks, and his infatuation for the young man has grown deeper than he ever anticipated. So much so that he finds himself drawn to protect Rob from the rage and vengeance burning away his partner Jay’s insides. Caring for their bound and gagged captive,with each passing day Al finds his power over Rob a potent and irresistible aphrodisiac and his heart dangerously moved. But Jay has no intention of ever allowing the young man to escape.”

Ahmet Yıldız update from bianet.org, “Father of the Victim Is Fugitive Murder Suspect,” by Bawer Çakir

An exclusive — breaking news from a Turkish gay bear friend about Ahmet Yıldız’ murder:

His father is the murderer — there were people helping him, but who [knows who?]. It took a long [time for police] to identify the killer [although] the plate number of the car used in the shooting was known since the first day. When an announcement was made about the killer, [Ahmet’s] father was long gone and lost in northern Iraq. Authorities didn’t work fast, even when they were able, and absolutely did not tell anything about the investigation of his murder [even though] it’s already been the news all around the world — thanks to Ahmet’s closest friends.

A hot & hairy (NSFW) reading from Jeff Mann’s story in Steve Berman’s anthology, Best Gay Stories 2008, “Taming the Trees”

Shoutouts, and the usual audio bear furbulosity. A delightful and safe New Year to everyone!

I’m cooking up something mighty fine . . . it’s a bubbling bowl of tasty tangy BEAR SOUP!
