The Thousand Days of Disbelief

Phantacea Publications is pleased to announce the three mini-novels constituting `"The 1000 Days of Disbelief"`, Book Two of '`The Thrice-Cursed Godly Glories'`, are available for ordering online by credit card.

Just as happily, `"The Death's Head Hellion"` and `"Contagion Collectors"` are available everywhere at $10.00 each. Being longer than its predecessors, `"Janna Fangfingers"` still goes for the highly reasonable price of $12.00 CAD and USD.

Top of Page - Top of Section - Upwards - Downwards - Page Contents- Bottom of Page Lynx

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

`"Janna Fangfingers"`, the third and final mini-novel comprising `1000-Daze`, rather cleverly doubles as a prequel to both `Gambit` and the `Launch 1980` story cycle. In its turn, `Endgame-Gambit` picks up from where `War-Pox` leaves off. Part Three of `"Nuclear Dragons"` connects to both `War-Pox` and `Gambit`. Parts One, Two and Four of `Nuke` also nicely sets up `"Helios on the Moon"`, the last scheduled sequence in the `Launch 1980` story cycle.

E-versions of `Feel Theo`, `Hellion`, `Contagion,Fangers,` `War-Pox` and `Gambit` are available on the Kindle format exclusively from amazon.com, amazon.co.uk and some of amazon's other European and Asian affiliates.

Kindle e-books can be downloaded for I-Pads and I-Phones as well as a number of other devices. Many have text-to-voice capacity for the visually challenged.

Phantacea Publications e-books are also available in a variety of other formats. Please check your favourite online bookstore to download Phantacea Publications e-books to the device of your choice.

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.

Hit here to initiate orders directly from amazon.com and some its affiliates. Books from Phantacea Publications currently available include "Forever & 40 Days — The Genesis of PHANTACEA", "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"), "Goddess Gambit" and "Nuclear Dragons".

Some of the Phantacea comics and graphic novels can be ordered through Drive Thru Comics.

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.

Please add an additional 12% to cover Canadian and provincial taxes as well as Canada Post rates for shipping. At present Phantacea Publications can only accept certified cheques or money orders.

BookFinder.com lists both of the original versions of the 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), 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.
