The early 1900s mystical fiction is a rabbit hole for sure. Voyage to Arcturus is a very good recommendation! Others in this vein include, but are not limited to:

Armed with Madness by Mary Butts

The Golem by Gustav Meyrink

Flower Phantoms by Ronald Fraser

The Stone Dragon by R. Murray Gilchrist

and so many more.




> The Golem by Gustav Meyrink

I read this more than 20 years ago, and it still comes to my mind frequently. It’s haunting. Keep trying to read it again.


Great suggestions thanks! This is a great podcast that covers some of these and other interesting obscure works: http://www.holdfastnetwork.com/sherdspodcast/
