052 The Eleven Thousand Virgins and the Four Holy Three Kings. The main character in this story attempts to educate an American woman on her visit to Cologne for the first time. But she is very strong willed and will only go to certain places. . . also the true secret to making Eau d’ Cologne!
051 The Curve by Hanns Heinz Ewers. This humorous story depicts two types of study of curves and reminds me of today’s modern world. Which type of curves do you study?

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.

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.

044 Edgar Allan Poe by Hanns Heinz Ewers. This beautiful essay is a tribute to Edgar Allan Poe and is one of the most beautiful things I have ever read. Edgar Allan Poe was Hanns Heinz Ewers favorite author and a very strong influence on him.

040 The Button Collection by Hanns Heinz Ewers. Mia Bienavant has a secret and no one knows it but me. Her housemaid told me under strictest confidence. But she’s not the only one. I’ve known many others as well. What about you?
036 Sibylla Madrusso by Hanns Heinz Ewers is a horrific story of a prank gone wrong. It is taken from the novel “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”.

The Blue Indians of Mexico have strange memories and some of them can remember things that happened to their parents before they were even born!

028 My Mother the Witch by Hanns Heinz Ewers. My Mother the Witch was written as a tribute to his mother! I often wonder how much was based upon truth and how much was fiction. Hanns Heinz Ewers was devoted to his mother and she was a very strong personality in her own right.

Over a hundred years ago author Hanns Heinz Ewers predicted many aspects of our current society and this humorous story tells how women of the future will learn to lay eggs like chickens and raise babies in nurseries where they can be picked up after the first two years of life. Of course only the best women would be allowed to lay eggs and so our social problems would be solved. . .
