Another interesting option for the curious is Chegg, which has a rent-a-book program. Thus far its search engine shows no results for phantacea (any style or permutation thereof) but it does recognize Jim McPherson (a variety of them) and the titles of the novels.

As for the Whole Earth (other than the Hidden Continent of Sedon's Head, at least as far as I can say), well, this page contains a list of a few other websites where you can probably order the novels in a variety of currencies and with credit cards;

Devils, Demons, Dates, and suchlike Diversionary Details

| Who-What-Where-When | Skyborn v/s Earthborn | The Devazur Race | Lest We Forget the Trigregos Sisters | Offsite Lynx |

Thanks in large measure to monotheistic religions the Gods and Goddesses, the Demons and Monsters, of Antique Mythology have been trivialized, their worship proscribed and the entities themselves confined to another realm. This realm is known by various names. In some folk traditions it is called the 'Otherworld', in others 'Shadowland', and to this day in places like Tibet it is often referred to as the Inner Earth.

In the PHANTACEA Mythos it goes by all these names and a number of others, most prominently Big Shelter and the Hidden Continent of Sedon's Head. That it’s been hidden since the time of the Great Flood of Genesis (the Genesea), take that as a given. That it’s hidden by the Cathonic Zone or Dome, that’s reflected in how its inhabitants count time: namely, in Years of the Dome (YD). The sub-titular Thrygragon of Feeling Theocidal occurs in 4376 YD. That makes it 376 AD: four thousand three hundred and seventy-six years after the Great Flood began.

There are a sometimes malicious multitude of supernatural entities living within the Dome. I make a distinction between 'Cathonic' or skyborn and 'Chthonic' or earthborn beings. The latter include such familiar creatures of folklore as faeries and demons while the former are the Fallen Angels or devils of the Bible. With respect to devils, because they are described as fallen I take that to mean they are extraterrestrial in origin. To a number of the Earth-centric, Mother Goddess worshipping characters in the PHANTACEA Mythos that makes them less supernatural than unnatural and, hence, their enemy.

I also refer to devils as being members of the 'devazur' race since, to simplify matters somewhat, ‘devas’ or ‘devs’ in Indian or Kurdish tradition are gods whilst my azuras or their 'asuras' are demons. Yet, in the Zoroastrian tradition of the neighbouring Persians, the opposite holds true. (In fact I've been given to understand that the word 'ahura' {as in Ahura Mazda}, from whence come azura and asura, just means lord or lady, depending on the context.) All in all, then, it just made sense to combine the two into devazur.

It is my contention that the Sanskrit word 'deva' is the root for English words such as devil, deity, divine, diva, and the Indian honorific, Devi. It seems to me that the Latin word for God, 'Deus', is just a variation of 'dev'. This appears self-evident when you consider that in English the plural of 'dev' is 'devs' and the Romans wrote 'Deus' as 'devs'.

Three tribes constitute devazurkind. These are the Mithradites, the Byronics and the Lazaremists. They are named after the tribes’ (nominal) male primogenitors: Thrygragos Varuna Mithras, Thrygragos Byron and Thrygragos Lazareme. As for their three female primogenitors, they are, or were, the Trigregos Sisters: Sapiendev the Mind, Demeter the Body and Devaura the Spirit.

Except in flashbacks, they don’t feature in Feeling Theocidal. However, their terrible talismans definitely do — and will, as the PHANTACEA Mythos progresses. That’s why Feel Theo is also “The Thrice-Cursed Godly Glories – Book One”.

Devic Origins — The Accepted Wisdom

| Utopian-style development tanks used for the 1st two generations of devazurkind | 3rd Generation engendered heterosexually | Azuras as only ever Spirit Beings | Master Devas as only ever triplets | Even more precisely | 4th Generation Thanatoids as only ever twins |

The Dual Entities ‘grew’ the Moloch Sedon in the equivalent of a Utopian development tank. They used as raw material the biogeneticist Cabalarkon’s left eye. Without the Dual Entities, and leaving his consequently thought-father with the one good eye he still had, Sedon recreated much the same sort of clonal process when he produced the six Great Gods and Goddesses.

They thereafter engendered the third generation of devazurkind heterosexually; in an initiatory manner essentially identical to the way sentient beings did their offspring throughout the cosmos. As for Master Devas, they couldn’t even begin to bring about azuras until they gained daemonic bodies. Mind-fucking, as spirit beings, reproduced nothing but frustration.

Arguably the most singular peculiarity of the third generation as a whole came to light when they were about to, at parturition. The natural process of childbirth most lifeforms went through in order to prolong their species changed the moment the pregnant but solitary Trigregos Sister literally split in three. This anatomical perversion invariably resulted in them giving birth, both simultaneously and individually, to a set of triplet spirit beings therefore arising from one coupling with one Thrygragos Brother.

... from "The 1000 Days of Disbelief"

Normality for Master Devas deviates not at the moment of conception, but milliseconds prior to parturition, when his or her diabolical mother splits – or split, many, many, multiple multi-millennia ago pre-Earth – into one of the Trigregos Sisters. Each of those selfsame three, perhaps not altogether distinct individuals thereafter proceeds to simultaneously give birth to a set of immediate siblings subsequently known as a ‘brood’ or, more pejoratively, as a ‘litter’.

However, according to semi-knowledgeable pseudo-savants such as the devic Librarian, Biblio Drek, they didn’t so much split as always were three-in-one. In other words, they were a triad or trinity along the lines of – though hardly identical to – the three Great Gods, who’d been down to two since Thrygragon.

... from "The 1000 Days of Disbelief"

However, a few of them were fourth generational members of the Family Thanatos. There were only ten such beings. Until they came along, starting around six decades earlier, the offspring of Master Devas – by Master Devas, without resorting to occupying any intermediaries – were invariably azuras; spirit beings like their parents had been until about four thousand years ago, hence the devazur race. Not so fourth generational devils. They were as solid as he was and given time to mature, which, it went without saying, they had not been given, were potentially as powerful as he was as well.

Vayu Maelstrom, Devil Wind, knew how King Cold and his Scarlet Empress, Tantal and Methandra Thanatos, were able to have five sets of devic twins. Knew as well that the Medusa, Mother Murder, Mater Matare, the Apocalyptic of Death, was pregnant when she was cathonitized more like thirteen decades earlier; cathonitized along with the three male Primary Apocalyptics: War, Plague and Disaster.

Hence the Sedon Sphere's Persistence

| Where - Dark Star Sedon mysteriously missing | Why - Sed's priestess a pauper | How - Skyborn coupling with Earthborn answers that | When - Pyrame can't answer Balance | Where else - Scads more Silverstar |

And the one individual who might know what had become of heavenly him, Pyrame Silverstar, denied having any idea as to his whereabouts.

Aka the Pauper Priestess – because she had no protectorate to call her home and no worshippers to call her own – she should do more than might know. She should know for sure. He may be the devils’ solitary grandfather but she’d been the half-mother of their Sed-sons – or sedons, small case – in terms mortal, for almost as long as there’d been a Hidden Continent of Sedon's Head.

As most undeniably knew for a fact – yet virtually no one, including him-Sedon or her-Pyrame, could explain satisfactorily to anyone else – the existence of Sed-sons at least partially accounted for the persistence of the Sedon Sphere. Its halcyon, though uncertain, and oft-times experimental early days proved sedons had to be born, one at a time, every human generation or so. Said evidentiary early days further indicated their half-mother had to be her, Pyrame. As a result he, Sed-him, came to collect her fairly regularly, in terms immortal.

He hadn’t lately, the Pauper informed Harmony the day the latter popped down to the Prison Beach of Incain [sometime in 5474 YD], at the bottom of the Cattail Peninsula, in order to make inquiries of the former. From Pyrame’s perspective that might merely mean they already had plenty of sedons born and yet breathing on either side of the Dome.

... from "The 1000 Days of Disbelief"

The Persistence of Pyrame

| The Fabulously Female Perpetual Presence | Primeval Lilith, the Queen of Demons | Pyrame Silverstar as both the devic half-mother of the sed-sons and as the Pauper Priestess | Pyrame as Astroarche, Queen of Heaven | Pyrame Silverstar and the Panharmonium Project | Pyrame & The Atomic Twins (specifically Osiraq) | Pyrame Silverstar as the fabulously female Perpetual Presence | Pyrame as the Snake Goddess (Queen Tanith of Crete) circa 2000-2500 YD (2000-1500 BC) | Mithras's Ninth | The Mosaic Woman |
