Phantom museum


PHANTOM MUSEUM
by Hildi Hawkins and Danielle Olsen
Henry well come collected thousands of strange objects for his medical museum, and today they are stored in the vaults of a a west London store room. This extra ordinary and exciting anthology of short stories is inspired by objects from the collection. A stunning story: Body art: by A.S. Byatt, tells of Daisy Whimple, a cynical hippy type girl whose bungled abortion later leads her to attempt to bring brightness into the ward by decorating it. There she meets Dr. Beckett and becomes pregnant again by him. Will she have the baby and if she does, what will happen?
Five other stories are included as well as photos of a selection of those strange objects.
