Together with volume 1 they comprise the most comprehensive collection of Meyrink short stories to appear in English. 'Meyrink's short stories epitomised the non-plus-ultra of all modern writing. Their magnificent colour, their spine-chilling and bizarre inventiveness, their aggression, their succinctness of style, their overwhelming originality of ideas, which is so evident in every sentence and phrase that there seem to be no lacunae.' - Max Brod 'His stories recall Gogol in their black, humorous vigour.' - The European Books of the Year AUTHOR: Gustav Meyrink (I868-1932) found worldwide critical and commercial acclaim with his first novel The Golem (1915) It established his reputation as the master of the occult and the grotesque.(He was the German translator of Dickens). All of his novels and most of his short stories are available from Dedalus.
