Welcome to Phantacea Publications Big Images Page

`"Feeling Theocidal -- Thrygragon, Year of the Dome 4376"`, Book One of `'The Thrice-Cursed Godly Glories'` trilogy, `"The War of the Apocalyptics"`, the first entry in the `Launch 1980` story sequence, the three mini-novels making up `"The 1000 Days of Disbelief"`, Book Two of `'The Thrice-Cursed Godly Glories'`, and `"Goddess Gambit"`, Book Three of the trilogy and the second entry in the `Launch 1980` story sequence, should be available at neighbourhood bookstores and public libraries all over the world.

Please be aware that `"Janna Fangfingers"`, the third and final mini-novel comprising 1000-Daze, rather cleverly doubles as a prequel to the `Launch 1980` sequences. Be aware also that e-versions of Feel Theo, Hellion, Contagion and Fangers are available on the Kindle format exclusively from amazon.com, amazon.co.uk and some of amazon's other European affiliates until the end of March 2012.

If you don't see the novels or mini-novels displayed at your local book stops, kindly direct purchasing agents and/or booksellers to www.phantacea.com in order to help them rectify such a sad situation.

The front cover for Feeling Theocidal, artwork by Verne Andru, 2008, with a rollover collage prepared by Jim McPherson, 2008, for the same book

A number of Phantacea Publications, specifically "Feeling Theocidal", "The War of the Apocalyptics" the three mini-novels constituting "The 1000 Days of Disbelief" (namely "The Death's Head Hellion", "Contagion Collectors" and "Janna Fangfingers"), and "Goddess Gambit", can be ordered from amazon.com and its affiliates, including amazon.ca and amazon.co.uk, as well as from Barnes & Noble.

Until the end of March 2012, e-versions of "Feeling Theocidal", "The Death's Head Hellion", "Contagion Collectors" and "Janna Fangfingers" can be ordered on the Kindle format exclusively from amazon.com, amazon.co.uk and four of amazon's additional European affiliates.

Libraries, bookstores and bookseller collectives can place bulk orders through Ingram Books, Ingram International, Coutts Information (and Library) Services, Baker & Taylor, and a large network of other distributors worldwide.

Or, if you prefer to order directly from the publisher, email or send your order(s) via surface mail. No matter where you live or what currency you prefer to use, I'll figure out a way to fill your order(s) myself.

As an introductory offer, I will absorb shipping costs and government taxes on "The Death's Head Hellion", "Contagion Collectors" and "Janna Fangfingers" only. Just be aware that I can only accept certified cheques or money orders.

For all the other PHANTACEA Mythos print publications, I'll have to charge an additional 12% to cover Canadian and provincial taxes as well as Canada Post rates for shipping. I do use bubble mailers, though.

BookFinder.com lists both mosaic novels: "Feeling Theocidal" and "The War of the Apocalyptics". Also listed therein are most of the other PHANTACEA Mythos print publications.

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.

Cover for PHANTACEA Phase One #1

Artwork by Ian Bateson

[COMPRESSED VERSION OF THE FRONT AND BACK COVER FOR THE LAUNCHING OF THE COSMIC EXPRESS]

'The Launching of the Cosmic Express' is the overall title for the four-part Tetralogy serialized in PHANTACEA on the Web from 1996 until 2001. It comprised the novels: 'The War of the Apocalyptics', 'The Trigregos Gambit', 'Centauri Island', and 'Helios on the Moon'. The three devils on the cover are Mater Matare (Mother Murder), Carcinogen the Leper (Plague), and Mars Bellona, as they were depicted in the PHANTACEA Comic Book series. They are, respectively the Apocalyptics of Death, Disease and War. The fourth Apocalyptic, that of Sudden Destruction, is Nakba Ramazar (Disaster). Being headless it might be said he's on the cover as well. The enormous eye-mouth is that of the Moloch Sedon, the All-Father of Devazurkind.

Back Cover for PHANTACEA Number One

Artwork by Dave Sim

[<em>PHANTACEA ONE</em> Back Cover]

Aranyani Nightingale and Doc Defiance are featured in 'Centauri Island'. Vayu Maelstrom, Devil Wind, appears in 'The War of the Apocalyptics'. Aran looks very much like her mother, Eden Nightingale Ryne. Remove the white stripes from her hair and she might be able to pass for Mnemosyne D'Angelo, short hair and all. Both Eden and Memory appear in Heliodyssey. Mik Starrus appears in 'Helios on the Moon' whereas Mammalian eventually figures in both the 1938 and the 1980 story sequences.

Helios Ordering Machine-Memory to Nuke Weirstar

Artwork by Ian Fry, late 1980s, colour and text by Jim McPherson, 2007

Much of the 1990 graphic novel ("Forever & 40 Days - The Genesis of PHANTACEA", which can still be ordered), follows the time-tumbler, Helios called Sophos the Wise, and his most aberrant generation, the Moloch Sedon, through a series of evidently random encounters ending, circa 4000 BC, with the Genesea and the preservation of what henceforth becomes the Hidden Continent of Sedon's Head.

A number of the Web Wheaties, as in serials, thus far presented during the history of PHANTACEA on the Web hinge on much the same thing, Helios's efforts to rid the cosmos of the evil he helped engender during his 5th lifetime. Some of his attempts, such as the one depicted in this collage (having Machine-Machine ignite Weirstar and thus destroy all life in an entire solar system), border on the insane. Then again, as he says to the Trigregos Sisters in this collage: "Innocents do not worship devas!"
