Career

Pheby's second novel, Playthings, was described as "the best neuro-novel ever written" in Literary Review.[4] The novel deals with the true case of Daniel Paul Schreber, a 19th-century German judge affected by schizophrenia, who was committed to an asylum. In 2016, Playthings was shortlisted for the £30,000 Wellcome Book Prize.[5] His third novel, Lucia, concerning the suspected schizophrenic daughter of James Joyce, released in 2018 was joint winner of the Republic of Consciousness Prize.[6] He is also the author of Grace, published by Two Ravens Press.

Mordew, published in 2020 by Galley Beggar Press, is the first book in the Cities of the Weft trilogy of fantasy novels. Critics have praised the world building, the balance between "invention and familiarity", and described the novel as "dizzying".[7][8][9] It was followed by Malarkoi in 2022 and Waterblack in 2025.
