Creation Myths for the Apocalypse
2nd edition now arriving
in stores (Nov 2022)
An ethnographic study of the mountain bike clans of Central Vermont. Tall tales, ancient and modern, fully-illustrated for your enjoyment.
A delightful picaresque for uncertain times.
“Bravo! A Tour-de-Forest! This is a funny, endearing-as-hell, post-apocalyptic grown-up fairy tale for mountain bikers and the people who love them. The illustrations are the cherry on top. Much praise to the stodgy editorial board of West Goshen University Press for green-lighting this little gem!”
- Five Stars - Dan Brett
“Bill McKibben meets Mad Max. This is a humorous account of a post-apocalyptic, mountain bike-worshipping society living in the hill towns of south central Vermont.”
- Five Stars - Jacob Reibel
Storyteller Angus Chaney lives in Central Vermont. He rides in the hills around Brandon Gap, enjoys adventures on the lakes and rivers, tramps about in the forest, makes a little music from time to time, and tells tall tales. Occasionally he writes those down on paper. This is his first novella.
Ethan Nelson, illustrator, lives in Brandon. He raises outsized pumpkins, rides year-round on bikes of various BMI, and has gotten tangled up in countless art projects recently, including "Planted in the Sky," "The Brothers Dilphenstein," and album art for Route 73 Records.

Paperback - 144 pages / $20
This collection of short stories explores themes of place and time, the search for identity, displacement/disorientation, perseverance, the complexities of human relationships, love and loss.
Five distinct voices narrate each tale, revealing the grotesque elements of human nature lurking beneath the shimmery surface of everyday existence. Each voice finds glimpses of hope among the rubble, often through epiphanies so subtle the reader wonders whether the narrator has even noticed.
The book's settings zig-zag between the urban streets of San Francisco and the mountains and rivers of Vermont. It's narrators range in age, gender, and voice.
Pangea asks the question, What does it mean to move?
Simon J Phillips is a writer, musician, and gardener living in San Francisco’s Mission District. Simon volunteers as editor and reader with the Prison Education Network, where he has served as mentor for a writer in prison. He holds an MFA in fiction writing. Pangea is his first book.
This limited first edition includes six original pen and ink illustrations by Vermont artist and illustrator Emerson Zelis
