Aleister Crowley and Nikola Tesla confront the enigma of Thomas Edison's new invention: a phone to communicate with the dead.

It is August 1899, and Thomas Edison proclaims his most amazing invention yet: the Spirit Phone Model SP-1. At nearly the same time, a cocksure young mage named Aleister Crowley inexplicably teleports into the home of Edison's archrival, renowned inventor Nikola Tesla.

As insanity and suicide multiply among spirit phone users, Crowley and Tesla combine their respective skills in "magick" and technology to investigate the device's actual origin and ultimate purpose.

Embarking upon an adventure of astral travel, demonic invocations, and high-speed airship journeys, they are soon embroiled in a desperate race to stop the spirit phone's use by an unknown adversary to inaugurate a hell on earth from which none shall escape.

Industry Reviews

"filled with twists that are impossible to predict...there is nothing to do but enjoy the ride. The Spirit Phone is an inventive novel that's moved by mysteries and magic." -Foreword Reviews Magazine

"The Spirit Phone is an enjoyable occult mystery with one foot in historic reality and the other in a preternatural apocalyptic whirlpool that keeps you spinning from one shocking revelation to the next at breakneck speed."

-Nightmare Magazine

"The unlikely but exciting investigative duo [of Tesla and Crowley] are the perfect pair to involve in this who-done-it horror. Filled with twists and turns, this thriller finds itself at the intersection of the scientific and the arcane." -Manhattan Book Review

"surrender to the weirdness... There is fun to be had..." -The Japan News

"a surreal time-warp of a story in an imaginative debut novel... We are no doubt witness to a new talent in the speculative fiction genre, a writer who has a deep understanding of historical figures and events and knows the true meaning of creative fiction." -Rex Pickett, author of Sideways

"With his gripping, dreamlike debut novel The Spirit Phone, Arthur Shattuck O'Keefe establishes himself as an imaginative author of uncanny ability. Literary speculative fiction has long been overdue for a new writer to take a hammer to the form and make it better than it was. In creating a work that is part supernatural steampunk, part spellbinding alternate history, O'Keefe has done that and more." -David W. Brown, author of The Mission
