In much the same way, bookstores and bookseller collectives can place bulk orders through the Ingram Book Company, Ingram International and/or Baker & Taylor. I'm assured that the terms you're used to shall apply. There's a partial list of Ingram's worldwide distribution partners here. I've seen online listings for Feel Theo from as far afield as South Africa, India, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Italy and the UK. A friend of mine in Germany ordered and received the book within a few days of doing so; meaning you should be able to order any of the novels or mini-novels wherever you are and in whatever currency you prefer to use. Or you can email me today and I'll arrange to fill them myself, albeit for a slightly additional cost to cover shipping, tax and customs issues, especially if you reside outside of Canada. The list price for the first two mosaic novels is $24.00 CAD in Canada and $23.00 USD in the States. Gambit and Nuck-Drags are longer so they are slightly more expensive at $25.00 CAD and USD. The first two mini-novels go for $7.50 in Canada and the States. Fangers is $10.00. Everything's way more expensive in Australia and perhaps not so much so anywhere, so do your due diligence. As linked from here, the graphic novels, Like Fangers, it is still being sold at its original list price of $10.00 in both Canada and the USA. Remainder copies of the first four PHANTACEA comic books are also available for $5.00 per comic in both currencies. Reprints, when they become available, shall be the same price. An additional cost of 12% on the complete purchase covers Canadian and provincial taxes. Plus, shipping and handling fees are extra. Be forewarned that I can only accept certified cheques and money orders. Sorry, no Pay Pal or credit cards accepted on this end. |

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), 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. |

The Death's Head Hellion
In the nearly 5,000 years since the Moloch Sedon preserved it from the Great Flood of Genesis, the Hidden Continent has never experienced such approaching apocalyptic devastation. Set in the Year of the Dome 4824/5, Hellion presents a terrifying dilemma that Thrygragos Everyman and his firstborn Unities, freewheeling anarchists the loathsome load of them, must resolve lest the post-Thrygragon Era of Empires results in a second Genesea. As for Master Morgan Abyss, it isn't a matter of better the Devil you know. It's a matter of, when dealing with the Devil above, singular and capitalized, never forget the devils below, small case and plural. It's a lesson she learns all too rapidly. Ah, but is it a lesson she also learns all too fatally? Double-click on the images in this frame to enlarge them in a separate window. |

Contagion Collectors
Yet, right here on the earth beneath their feet, there is no bigger secret than that there is a Cathonic Dome. The second biggest secret beyond the Cathonic Dome is that a continent the size of Africa lies underneath it.Two hundred years earlier, someone who knew all there was to know about the Hidden Headworld was none other than the infamous, panpipe-playing Rat Catcher of Hamelin. Three Outer Earthlings you may have heard of play howsoever-insignificant roles in Contagion. They are Twisted Tommy (Tomas de Torquemada, age 56), Bosco (Hieronymous Bosch, age 26), and Dire (Albrecht Durer, age 4). Dire and Drang (a hound, not yet a dachshund) are having a wonderful boy/dog adventure until four already much feared riders on psychopomp-steeds burst into their hence no longer exclusive paradise, the Garden of Earthy Delights. As for the god by then sitting high above them all, in a Brainrock throne planted atop a mushroom cloud, he's the deviant half-son of two of the terrifying riders, the one with the buzzsaw-scales and the one with the bow and already notched arrow.

In 4825 Year of the Dome, forces loyal to the Death Gods of Frozen Lathakra threaten to overwhelm the Utopian Weirdom of Cabalarkon. Its demonically-empowered Master counterattacks mercilessly.
Despite often violent suppression by forces blinkered by monotheistic absolutism, at the height of the Renaissance seekers after secrets are determined to discover all there is to know about the universe. 
Novels and mini-novels are hardly the only PHANTACEA Mythos print publications available for ordering. As per lynx provided below, Dependent on location, booksellers and bookseller cooperatives can also place bulk orders for the four full-length novels and three mini-novels via either Ingram Books or Ingram International, as per here. |

Nothing less than the PHANTACEA version of the origin of the Devil himself highlights this 1990 collection of short featurettes drawn by Ian Fry and initially intended for the phantacea Phase One project. (Secular Note 1: According to some faiths, fallen angels became devils. They had to have fallen from somewhere, which in Phantacea Mythos books makes them extraterrestrials. Are the heavens not outer space? Of course they are.) (Pun Alert: As for why Hor looks Japanese on the cover of pH-4Ever, when Jim McPherson first heard about Japan's famous Noh theatre as a kid, he decided it had to be named after Noah. The notion never left whatever else is left of his peabrain.) ======== |

(Secular Note 2: Undeniable because, as per here and here, that is precisely what the word 'devil' means — and don't let anyone tell you any differently.) Foremost among the tales told is that of Thrygragon. For not just devazurkind in particular, Mithramas 4376 Year of the Dome (Christmas Day 376 AD) may yet prove perhaps the singly most important event in Whole Earth history since Xuthros Hor, the Biblical Noah, caused the Genesea. Feel Theo also contains an afterword by the author. Albeit with the bonus of three or four contextually nifty photographs taken in Mexico City, it is reprinted, in colour, here. ======== |

Back cover bluster promises what War-Pox delivers: "From the creator of the PHANTACEA Mythos and the writer of ‘Feeling Theocidal’ comes Fallen Angel Devils, comes unrelenting Action, comes the Damnation Brigade, comes the first book of the Launch 1980 cycle." Set on both the Outer and Inner Earth in 19/5980, War-Pox additionally contains a foreword and an afterword by the author. Moreover, as a bonus it ends with the third (originally the first) chapter of 1000-Daze, the immediate sequel to War-Pox's Author's Afterword, reprinted here, with colour shots, is not to be missed. In it, Jim McPherson relates a number of Phantacea-specific Serendipitous Sightings he's experienced over the years, including what he spotted in the amazing picture the Egyptian air force took in the late 20s or early 30s of the Giza Plateau. That can't just be a parking lot can it. Images in this panel double-click; more shots representative of the Damnation Brigade can be found here.======== |

No doubt to the Devil's dismay, what begins, perhaps, as a Sedonplay begets a Sedon Plague that necessitates a Sedon Purge. The highly idiosyncratic manner that the wildly wilful Lazaremists deal with each new threat to their persistent dream of Panharmonium has ramifications for just about everyone alive — and, yes, even dead — right up to the night before the launching of the Cosmic Express from the Outer Earth's Centauri Island on November 30, 1980. ======== |

As detailed at a breathtaking pace in Better known as the Sedon Sphere on the Inner Earth of Sedon's Head, none is more immediately disastrous than in Hadd, the Land of the Ambulatory Dead. Forces of the Living are attempting to re-conquer it. But if Nergal Vetala, the Blood Queen of the Dead, has her way the only thing they'll successfully do is swell her ranks.
Faced with the viperous menace of Nergal Vetala and her slavish but potentially supremely powerful, devil-slaying soldier, even the usually never-remembered Smiling Fiend has no choice except to do his best imitation of a good guy — to no avail. ======== |
