Peter Phillips (1920 – 2012)[1] was a British writer known for a series of science fiction stories published between 1948 and 1958.
This tale involves the ghosts of medieval monks trapped in an old monastery; they are able to benefit from a modern canned super-food thanks to blurred timelines, and engage in poltergeist activity.
[4] The manuscript for this story was long believed to be lost, but was rediscovered among the author's considerable archive of papers and photographs in early April 2020.
A volume of Peter Phillips' collected writings, to include the newly rediscovered stories, is in preparation (2020).
He became a 'cub reporter' for the Bournemouth Times, and subsequently worked for the Daily Herald as Senior Sub-Editor in the Features section.
