A Sinister Alphabet is the only studio album of Phantom 309, released in 1989 by Tupelo Recording Company.

Reception Ira Robbins of Trouser Press wrote an enthusiastic review, saying it "simmers with backwoods weirdness and domineering intensity" and calling it "a dish of gutter-level grungeabilly and cohesively crude rock noise distinguished by guitarist John Forbes' devilish growl."
