![Editor of Der Ochideengarten, a 1920s magazine I’ve covered a bunch of times on 50 Watts, Karl Hans Strobl was also a writer. Bio from The Dedalus/Ariadne Book of Austrian Fantasy:
Karl Hans Strobl (Iglau, Moravia 1877–Perchtoldsdorf 1946): A fertile and popular writer (he published over 100 books) who was one of the leading figures in the fashion for fantasy literature in the first thirty years of this century, both through his own novels and stories, and through his activities as editor of anthologies and of a periodical called Der Orchideengarten (The Orchid Garden). Probably the best-known of his magic novels is Eleagabal Kuperus. He also wrote historical novels of an increasingly German nationalist tone and ended as a National Socialist hack. [Ed.: somehow I saw that coming]
The anthology includes two of his stories, “Die arge Nonn’” (The Wicked Nun) and “Der Kopf” (The Head) from 1911 and 1921.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltutprNJhQ1qf0717o1_500.jpg)
