>Severin's Journey into the Dark by Paul Leppin

"First published in 1914, this acclaimed novel is set in Prague, a city of darkened walls and strange decay which forms the backdrop of Severin's erotic adventures and fateful encounters – a world of femmes fatales, Russian anarchists, dabblers in the occult and denizens of decadent salons. Prognosis called it, ". . . a gem, a beautifully spun tale," and The Prague Post stated: "This novel would have been perfect material for a 1920s German Expressionist film, with shots of shadowy alleys dripping with menace and cadaverous black-eyed bar girls."
