Under the God of Things
The Masculine Condition within the Belly of the Soul-Eating Beast Known as Civilization

This Masculinity Omnibus contains 10,000 words of select essays from 2013-16 and the books: The Third Eye, Incubus of Your Sacred Emasculation, and At the End of Masculine Time

A Punch Buggy Books Publication

Incubus of Your Sacred Emasculation makes the case that Modern Man was psychologically neutered and denatured beyond his dimmest dreams, and that his grandson, the Postmodern First World Man has been reduced to the social status of the eunuch of old, and possibly prefigures a drone-like future.

This politically incorrect screed describes the process by which men have been invalidated through conquest, civics, and literature. The author makes the case that as long as civilizations have risen men have been systematically emasculated, and goes onto interpretations of Gilgamesh, The Iliad, The Odyssey and Beowulf that reflect on the authors of these ancient works as having been cognizant of this process.

James LaFond, a science-fiction writer who has authored such counter-culture self help books as When You’re Food and Taboo You, uses the tools of the writer of speculative system to explore the subtext of the postmodern American life.

This series of 12 insightfully humorous essays includes:

The Extinction of Men

To Step On God’s Toe

Welcome to Manginastan

The Fall of the Garden of Ishtar

And the GQ Mugging Inquest

The Third Eye is an examination of alienated engagement and emasculation in postmodern America, and is the immediate prequel to Incubus of Your Sacred Emasculation.

A Case for Cultural Resistance

At The End of Masculine Time makes the case that modern liberal society is a Faustian matrix whereby the collective and individual souls of men are incinerated on The Altar, of what the author names ‘the God of Things’.

This apostolic manifesto makes the case against the ever pervasive violence of civilization in favor of the serenity of barbarity.

This counter culture meditation on being a man in an emasculated society names the cause, enumerates the symptoms, and offers a cure for what ails men.

Includes the essays:

Echoes of Men

What Smokes on God’s Altar

Superman and the Plight of Orks

Let the Weak Fall

In The Onion Field of the Soul

and, Where Life is Scarce

WHERE'S MY EMAIL !?!?

Most of our emails go through. However, some folks' mail providers will block the content thinking it is spam (some of James' titles are buzz words for internet filters). If after a few minutes you haven't received anything, EMAIL US at <store@123jameslafond.com> and we will resolve delivery. Satisfaction Guaranteed.

When I click on my product link, nothing happens, or a tab opens/disappears. Help!

Occasionally your mail provider will refuse to pop-open email links from 'untrusted' sources.

No. The store encourages you to download your eBooks once you receive them. This way, any future misfortunes with our website will not impact your purchase.

Yesterday I bought a book. Today it's been upgraded / rolled into an anthology. I feel cheated.

Let us know. We'll make it right. Because of the mass of Jim's writing and our ever-fledgling efforts to publish it, we are now finding it necessary to bundle older and like-themed store titles, to keep room and stay organized. Moving forward, expect more and more bundles. We appreciate your understanding.
