Rating:  Summary: Summary Review: Men with snakes, puppies, snails, kitties and just about every other non-human create one could imagine. Some photos are adorable, others disturbing, but all follow the common theme of men with BEASTS.
Rating:  Summary: Well-realized theme, beautiful animals Review: Very few publishing houses produce works of all-male erotica, but luckily for those of us who appreciate the art form, the ones who are involved do a smashingly good job. Such is the case of FotoFactory Press, whose volume "Beasts" is a brilliant take on the reciprocal male animal/animal male theme."Beasts" features images that show not only the love for men and their pets, the most obvious choice, but also the sometimes rather uneasy relationship men have with animals, the danger and fear associated with the two for each other since the beginning of time. But the theme doesn't stop there - the collection also represents man as beast, which is a theme that shouldn't be ignored. In a photo by Joel W. Benjamin, two horns protrude from a man's forehead, steam issuing from his mouth in a ready-to-charge expression; in another by Ali, a nude man holds an antelope's skull before his face, obscuring his own identity for a raw, fearful expression of feral beauty. There are more sedate, cheerful images that illustrate the love of men for their animals, and the unexplained (as yet) power pets have to calm us and relieve our stresses. In Rub-a Dub, by Martin Meyer, a muscular bald man clad in only jeans spends a sunny day giving man's best friend a bath in the backyard. In Jose Messana's Mark with Pet, a nude young man reclines restfully in a haystack with his feline acquaintance, as soft beams of light caress both their bodies. As with many other FotoFactory books, the world of photographers is well-represented, with images by such standout artists as Dean Keefer, Reed Massengill, and Mark Lynch. The quality of the printing and the reproduction of the photos is excellent, and the hard cover and dust jacket well-designed to keep the book in good shape for a lifetime.
