Pgeusz: eliminated a typo

"Descent" is a novel by Phil Geusz, published by Legion Printing in 2010. A typical Geusz tale in that its central theme is growth and empowerment through self-acceptance, "Descent" is the story of Crown Prince Gregory Lomabard. Gregory, heir to the throne of the Guild of Sorcerers and the proud owner of a 1968 Dodge Dart GTS convertible, is due to ascend to the throne at perhaps the most crucial moment in the entire history of the Guild. But someone's Cursed him to become a rabbit instead, in both body and mind. The work's title derives from a series of descents, both literal and metaphorical, that mark the protagonist's adventures as he seeks to learn the who and why of it all. Chief among these is his descent into animalhood, as bit by bit both his body and mind contort themselves into a new lapine reality.

"Descent" was first written in about 1999, and was one of Geusz's earliest novels. Published in 2010, it marks Legion's first foray into the business. More details can be found at http://www.legion-bhm.com/pb/descent/descent.html

Transmutation Now!

2007-10-21T07:11:20Z

Pgeusz: New page: "Transmutation NOW!" is the name of Phil Geusz's first novel. Originally written circa 1997 as a near-daily serial posted on the Transformation Story Archive mailing list, TN! in many ways...

"Transmutation NOW!" is the name of Phil Geusz's first novel. Originally written circa 1997 as a near-daily serial posted on the Transformation Story Archive mailing list, TN! in many ways set the pattern for the bulk of Phil's later literary output. Consisting of six distinct sub-parts, the novel deals with the ethical, moral, and even philosophical consequences of altering the human form. Yet it is also very much an action-adventure tale, following the trials and tribulations of Jack Strafford, an actor who unwillingly becomes a rabbit for a role in a movie. Due to circumstances beyond his or anyone else's control he becomes stranded in his new body, and must learn to accept that things will never again be as they once were for him. At first depression sets in, then Jack decides to make the most of his new life instead of whiling away the years just moping around. Once his attitude changes, he grows and grows and grows until eventually he finds himself staring into something frighteningly akin to the face of God himself.

Phil made several attempts to market this novel over the years before it finally found a permanent home at Raccoon's Bookshelf.
http://www.raccoons-bookshelf.org/product.sc?categoryId=2&productId=21

It has also been made available through Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Transmutation-NOW-Phil-Geusz/dp/0977186768/ref=sr_1_1/103-5862227-6881434?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1192072242&sr=1-1

TN! in time became a storyverse, though a closed one. Phil went on to write several other tales based on the original TN! concept, the best-known of which is "Love Carrot", a short-story about an all-bunny rock band of the same name. (Indeed, some sources refer to the TN! setting as the "Love Carrot" storyverse.) Also fairly well-known are a series of tales about Carl, a grizzled Chicago police officer who had himself age-regressed to boyhood as part of a federal undercover program intended to combat gangs, drug-dealers and child-molesters . Perhaps most significant of these "follow-on" works was a group of stories about the Church of the Transmutated Mind, a quasi-religious institution intended to foster spiritual growth through freedom of form. These works served as the ideological foundation for Phil's later (and far better) works in the "Drama Class" storyverse, in which spiritual growth through transmutation is again emphasized. (See "Lapism" at http://furry.wikia.com/wiki/Lapism) There has been some TN! fanfic written and posted as well; while Phil is flattered by this, he cannot consider it canonical as he hopes someday to return to this setting and perhaps, as is his habit, write about universe-shattering events. A second TN! novel, "Stamp of Approval", was begun and abandoned in roughly 1998; Phil has never entirely given up hope for it, and therefore desires to retain full control over the setting.

"Transmutation NOW!" was how many readers were first introduced to Phil's writing, and it remains the work he is perhaps best-known for.

Corpus Lupus

2006-08-26T22:11:00Z

Pgeusz:

Corpus Lupus is a novel by Phil Geusz, written in 1999 and 2000. Most readers consider it Geusz's darkest and most disturbing work to date.

Corpus Lupus is poor Latin for "the body of a wolf", and is the story of Detective Larry Highridge. Highridge is both an open out-of-the-closet werewolf and a homicide detective. He lives in a high-tech world much like our own, except that magic is a fact of life. Unfortunately, however, the only _controllable_ fom of magic in this universe is necromancy. More specifically, the only way to get a spell to work is to torture and mutilate someone to death. Even worse, since the fact that necromancy works is widely understood and acknowledged, there has to be government involvement in the field. In turn, this requires the licensing of individuals to practice the dark art. These individuals, who make up the Guild of Necromancers, thus spend their entire working lives legally torturing human beings to death. As a homicide detective, Highridge must work closely with the Guild. Predictably, over time, his life becomes as stained and twisted as those of the necromancers themselves.

Corpus Lupus began as a novella of the same name. It is the story of Detective Highridge's introduction to the Guild via a particularly nasty multiple child-murder. More ideas soon followed, however, and Geusz added two more novellas to the plot arc: "Pit Wolf" and "Loop Garou". "Pit" is about an incompetent amatuer sorceror who killed himself and his family, causing a major upset in the Planes of Reality, while "Loop" is about a series of murders in Chicago. Each of these tales, however, is about much more than solving the murder-cases they are built around. Far more important are Highridge's personal experiences, and the awful, terrible things he must go through in order to perform his job. By the end of "Loop", Highridge has become a totally depraved near-lunatic, who knows the answers to all of the forbidden questions and, more than anything in the universe, wishes that he could forget them.

The original rough draft of "Corpus" was posted to the TSA mailing list, as was that of "Pit". After receiving numerous complaints that he was disturbing psychologically-sensitive TSA members and causing nightmares, however, Geusz refrained from posting "Garou" to the mailing list. It is avaialable only in the print version of this book, published by Raccoon's Bookshelf and available from Amazon.com at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0977186717/ref=sr_11_1/102-6447576-4986509?ie=UTF8

Geusz also once wrote a fourth tale in this series, but has decided that it does not fit in well with the plot-arc defined by the other three. Therefore he has not shared it with anyone but a writer's critique group. This abortive fourth tale was entitled "Liecanthrope".

Geusz has several times expressed a desire to write an additional "Corpus" tale. However, this becomes increasingly unlikely as time passes.

Adoption Process

2006-08-26T21:30:53Z

Pgeusz:

"Adoption Process" is a short story by Phil Geusz. It appears in the mainstream collection "Twisted Cat Tales", edited by Elizabeth Schrader. The tale is that of a young homeless man who wants to become a cat, as told by the small-time artist who "adopts" him off of the street. At first, the elder man is convinced that he's accepted a lunatic into his home. And, clearly, he has. Slowly, however, step by step, the young man eases the narrator into accepting him as a feline. By this point, both have clearly traveled far beyond the normally-accepted limits of sanity.

"Adoption Process" includes disturbing scenes of self-mutilation and psychological manipulation. It should be read only by those with a taste for the macabre.

Down the Rabbit Hole

2006-08-25T17:22:10Z

Pgeusz:

'''''Down the Rabbit Hole''''' is a quarterly column in [[Anthro Magazine|''Anthro'' Magazine]] by [[Phil Geusz]], featuring his thoughts and opinions on the furry world in general. More specifically, Phil primarily deals with the interactions between [[:Category:Culture|furry culture]] and the greater [[mundane]] world. So far, the column has focused largely on [[convention|furry conventions]], what happens there, and the role of furdom in general society.

One of the more controversial "Rabbit Hole" columns to date is a review of a furry-themed stage-play, entitled "S4tyr Pl4y", in issue #4 (March/April 2006). "S4tyr Pl4Y" featured portrayals of furry chatrooms right alongside frank discussions of [[bestiality]], together on the same stage at the same time. Phil's review therefore deals largely with furdom's often-negative portrayal in the larger world, and what furs do and do not have the right to expect from others.

"Rabbit Hole" is a fairly new departure for Phil, who previously concentrated on fiction. He has, however, also authored a long-running column in ''[[TSAT]]'' magazine (''[[The Rabbit's Hutch]]'') on the art and craft of story-writing.

Perhaps the most interesting and controversial "Rabbit Hole" to date is a review of a furry-themed stage-play, entitled "S4tyr Pl4y", in issue #4 (March/April 2006). "S4tyr Pl4Y" featured portrayals of furry chatrooms right alongside frank discussions of bestiality, together on the same stage at the same time. Phil's review therefore deals largely with furdom's often-negative portrayal in the larger world, and what furs do and do not have the right to expect from others.

"Rabbit Hole" is a fairly new departure for Phil, who is best known for his fiction. He has, however, also authored a long-running column in TSAT magazine ("The Rabbit's Hutch") on the art and craft of story-writing.
