Phantom Days

Phantom Days has faith in our strangest and most inexplicable instincts and permits us to see them as undeniable truths. An artful and bewitching story that seeps skilfully into the body and gently breaks the heart.

To read Phantom Days by Angela O'Keeffe is to be enchanted. The story is timeless, ethereal, transcendent. Most of all, however, this slim but weighty novel is an homage to the sacred bond that exists between a book and its reader. I could feel the story lingering within me long after I had finished reading it, like a gentle heat, or a light.

Phantom Days is intensely physical and rich with detail: colours, sounds, processes, movements... Though it is told through the 'eyes' of a book, Phantom Days is a wonderfully human story about the act of creation.
