Phantom is based on Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel The Phantom of the Opera, about a deformed genius who haunts the Paris Opera House and falls in love with a beautiful soprano. Susan Kay's Phantom goes beyond the orginal, taking us inside the wolrd of Erik (the title character) from birth to death, adding more texture and richness to the original story. The title of the fanlisting The Last Apparition comes from the spanish edition of the book.
