I hope John will publish my own translation of Alraune! I would love to see it in such a collectible edition and have been talking with him about it.

The stories themselves are interesting and some have never been available before this in the English language. I particularly enjoyed "The Tophar Bride" and "John Hamilton Llewellyn's End".

Other than that the old style English is a bit distracting and "The Death of Baron Jesus Maria von Friedel" is not complete.

Hanns Heinz Ewers is classic horror at its best! ( )
