Introductory Remarksphantacea.com may be the only website dedicated entirely to print publications featuring Jim McPherson's PHANTACEA Mythos. However, at least at present, it's hardly Jim McPherson's only website. The first, PHANTACEA on the Web, began in 1996 and continues to this day. The second, Jim McPherson's Travels in my Pants, didn't get its own URL until 2007. Nonetheless, until that day came, it was an integral part of pH-Webworld. Indeed, many of the graphics found on this page are collages largely composed of shots taken during the course of said-TIMPs. Because phantacea.com is still getting going, for the time being many of the lynx found on this webpage click to the aforementioned pH-Webworld. Exceptions include most of the lynx taking you to features on the various PHANTACEA Comic Books and the Graphic Novel ("Forever & 40 Days -- The Genesis of PHANTACEA", which is still available for purchase via -- email me for instructions on how to proceed or just send your order and either your certified cheque or money order, made out to Jim McPherson, c/o here). As for "Feeling Theocidal", the very first, all-prose PHANTACEA Mythos novel, individual copies of the novel are available from amazon.com and its offshoots, including amazon.ca and amazon.uk, plus Barnes & Noble in the USA. In terms of the bricks and mortar bookstores in your neighbourhood, you'll no doubt make a point of informing their proprietors, in no uncertain terms, that they can place bulk orders with the Ingram Book Company and/or Ingram International, as well as Baker and Taylor. The list price is $24.00 CDN in Canada and $23.00 USD in the States. The novel is also available for ordering and delivery in Great Britain and the Euro-Zone, with payment in either GBP (Great Britain Pounds) or Euros. More details can be found on the phantacea.com welcoming page. Or, since Lightning Source Inc (LSI) has exclusive rights to distribute the novel worldwide, you might want to inquire about ordering it on the website of one of its distribution partners. A list of same is here. |

Closing CommentsMouse-overs provide details on the graphics. In the case of artwork for the comics and graphic novel, mouse-overs provide the name of the artist. Particularly in the case of some of the collages and potential covers, I occasionally incorporated images taken from the web or scanned in from books in my extensive library. Virtually everything else reproduced on this webpage are my own photographs. There are over 50 lynx here-on. Every one of them opens onto a new browser page. That way you can chance a glance at the graphic in its natural habitat, or pause to read the text, and/or follow the other day-glow lynx on whichever webpage I've directed you. So long as you keep the home and prime picture gallery page open, you can get back here from whenever you've closed down the last one you were looking at, howsoever intently. BTW, I'm still selling howsoever-trashed, print copies of the PHANTACEA Comic Books. Only issues 1-4 are remain available. Cost for returned copies of the comic books are $5.00 each, CDN or USD. Shipping and handling fees are of course extra. I've also been known to scan in and email copies of any or all of them (meaning #s 5 & 6 as well) at a low, solely screen reproducible, resolution of 72 dpi for an, ahem, somewhat heftier price tag of $10.00 in either currency. The PHANTACEA Graphic Novel, though, that you can still order at its original $10.00 price tag (plus the inevitable shipping and handling costs). Check out the Ordering Information on pH-Webworld then email me for instructions on how to load up on the whole pile. Be forewarned that I can only accept certified cheques and money orders. Sorry, no credit cards as yet. Since it's the only snail-mail address I have, whereby reaching me is pretty much guaranteed these days, said certified cheques or money orders must be sent to: James H McPherson, Publisher |
