Anarchistbanjo's World

This powerful and moving biography of Hanns Heinz Ewers was published in 1922 while he was still alive and presumably with his consent and blessing. It is written by someone who knows him well and is able to tell us more about the author than simple names, dates and places.
This beautiful book fully complements another book called the Hanns Heinz Ewers Brevier and gives additional insight into what this author was really like. Translated into the English for the first time by Joe E. Bandel. Now Available as a hardcover, paperback and Epub.

Leonhard Stein is one of Germany’s forgotten writers who disappeared shortly after World War I. His work has been compared to that of Hanns Heinz Ewers and Karl Hans Strobl and I am inclined to agree. He published three slim volumes: “The Ballet of Death”; “The Flute Player”; and “The Fire Lily”. In addition I”ve included a story from Vol 1, No. 6 of Der Orchideengarten.

The stories included in this collection are: The Electric Piano; Vampyre; The Ring; Hashish; Jaschke; The Mirror; Scherman; The Coat; Li; The Five Branched Candelabra; The Flute Player and The Fire Lily. These stories have been translated into English for the first time by Joe E. Bandel. This book is available as hardcover, paperback and epub.

047 Rebellion in Nirvana by K. Roellinghof is satire and as appropriate today as it was a hundred years ago. Some things just never change!

The project I am currently working on is the collected works of Leonhard Stein who is considered by some to be as good as Hanns Heinz Ewers and Karl Hans Strobl. Unfortunately it seems he published three novellas and then disappeared never to be seen again! I have access to all three small books and have translated about half of The Fire Lilly a couple years ago but never finished it. Now I’m working on The Ballet of Death which is a slim volume of short stories. The final novella is The Flutist and I have no idea what to expect from it. My last Deadly Days – Tales of Dark Fantasy podcast included Vampyre which is one of the short stories in this collection. The entire collection should only be around 300 pages.
