PHICTION: Tales from the World of Phantasm
by Don Coscarelli.
Foreward by Joe R. Lansdale.
Published by Molotov Press.
Published 2024.
ASIN: B0D2QZ3MQK
ISBN-13: 979-8988243038
In 1979, filmmaker Don Coscarelli (Bubba
Ho-tep, The Beastmaster) wrote and directed what became one of the seminal
sci-fi/horror films of that era, Phantasm. The film was a worldwide theatrical
success and spawned four acclaimed sequels.
For the first time in the history of horror
cinema, a celebrated filmmaker of a cult-classic horror film series has
continued the adventure by swapping mediums and personally authoring a series
of fictional works exploring in detail the characters he originally created.
Coscarelli has now returned to the world of Phantasm to tell more tales of
these inspiring phantasmic heroes.
In Life and Death in the 'Nam we explore the
origin story of our favorite ice cream vendor/hero Reggie and his first
encounter with the supernatural forces of evil in the jungles of the Vietnam
war. It's a two-fisted tale of a young man enduring the horrors of war and at
the same time facing down the horrors of the unknown.
In He Was Home Alone we revisit the young boy
Tim, prior to the events from Phantasm Ill, and how, using only his wits and
guile, he survives against unspeakable horrors.
In Tobe we follow the trail of one of
Phantasm's forgotten characters as he witnesses the key events of that film
from an entirely different perspective.
In The Rocky Road we track the events of one
of the Phantasm saga's fan-favorite characters, the nunchuck-wielding Rocky as
she's mustered out of the armed services and travels the backroads of the rural
South in the early 90's. In a desperate search to find her family she
encounters love, vengeance and horror, frequently reacting in the only way she
knows how, with her fists and her feet.
And finally in Escape From New York we join
another Phantasm fan-favorite character, the diminutive Chunk from Phantasm
Ravager as he attempts to flee his home in the big city from the horror of an
oncoming apocalypse. Along the way he bonds with some unexpected allies on a
thrilling quest for survival.
Phiction conuures six stunning new tales from
the world of the classic Phantasm film franchise. Acclaimed filmmaker, series
creator and Master of Horror, Don Coscarelli, returns the reader to Morningside
Mortuary with revelatory origin stories for some of the Phantasm saga’s most
compelling characters including ice cream vendor/action hero Reggie,
fan-favorite Rocky from Phantasm III and Chunk from Phantasm: Ravager.
“You are in for a treat. As with the
[Phantasm] films, these stories will give you what people call chicken skin,
and others call Goosebumps. What [Phiction] will do above all else, is
entertain. Dive in. The dark waters are fines.” – Joe R. Lansdale (best-selling
author of Hap & Leonard, Cold in July and Bubba Ho-tep).
