[viii], [2], 3-342 pp. In this Frankenstein-esque tale of horror that blends the myth of the mandrake with science fiction and a dash of vampire lore, Professor Jakob ten Brinken creates Alraune when he inseminates a prostitute with the seed of a hanged man. The resulting Alraune is "an incarnate thought, a witticism made flesh and blood; she is, too, the embodiment of the sinister traits which mediaeval tales attributed to the mandrake." Considered Hans Ewers's crowning achievement, the work would influence later genre fiction in both horror and science fiction.
