Anarchistbanjo's World

“Hanns Heinz Ewers Brevier” was first published in 1922 in the German language as a sampler of Ewers thoughts, ideas and beliefs. It is a collection of excerpts taken from a wide variety of his writing and organized into the categories, Music, Art and the Artist,Love, Philosophical Observations, Religion, Peoples and Lands, Politics and Love of the Fatherland and a final section entitled In Person.

This small book gives important insight into the thoughts and beliefs of this very important and forgotten author. It has been translated into English for the first time by Joe E. Bandel. The contents of this brevier were selected by people that knew Hanns Heinz Ewers very well and were quite close to him. It is a very important book in terms of how his closest friends and associates saw him.

This is available from Lulu publishing as a Hardcover and epub version.

The Fenris Wolf is a light hearted book about love, romance, the dream of writing poems, books and dramas and being published. It is also a book about the soul of a city and life in general. So this is really a book about the heart.
Fenris Wolf is a clique or social club of aspiring poets, authors and artists in a world where there are social clubs for just about everyone! As such it is specifically of interest to those who aspire to be writers and artists in its humility and earthy realism. We experience the struggles of being rejected, vanity publishing, the poison of success and the snobbery of the intellectual gradually learning the value of the common heart and ordinary life. In other words it is a story of becoming wiser and deeper.
I can only say that it touched my heart like a warm blanket that I could wrap around me. I will also admit that it might not be of interest to others that expect action, adventure or horror. It is simply a warm and interesting story and perhaps a cautionary tale for those who aspire to be creators, artists and writers.

It is available at Lulu.com as a hardcover, paperback and epub version.

“Ghosts in the Swamp” is a very strange and interesting book unlike any I have ever encountered before. Perhaps it is best described as a story from out of the twilight zone. On one hand it is a dystopian novel of a dying and quarantined Vienna that takes place after World War I. In this respect it is an alternate history fantasy novel that includes elements of science fiction, the supernatural and occultism.

Vienna has become a tourist attraction for rich Americans to visit before it is gone forever. Selina Gulliver, her boyfriend Fred Gregor and her father are tourists in the dying city. That is until Selina is kidnapped by some survivors living in the dead city. Why is the city dying and can it be brought back to life?

Available as hard cover, paperback, and epub.
