[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. Mahlon Blaine's illustrations grace not just the pages devoted to the plates, but end papers, chapter headings, and numerous in-text illustrations as well. A more perfection illustrator could not have been chosen. First Edition is stated one of 3000 copies. Publisher's Black Cloth with Red and Gilt Stamping to Spine and Front Board.
