"Ghosts in the Swamp" by Karl Hans Strobl. New English translation by Joe Bandel.

This new title is available at Lulu.com as hardcover, paperback and epub. Just do a search for Ghosts in the Swamp.

"Ghosts in the Swamp" is a very strange and interesting book unlike any I have ever encountered before. Perhaps it is best described as a story from out of the twilight zone. On one hand it is a dystopian novel of a dying and quarantined Vienna that takes place after World War I. In this respect it is an alternate history fantasy novel that includes elements of science fiction, the supernatural and occultism.

Vienna has become a tourist attraction for rich Americans to visit before it is gone forever. Selina Gulliver, her boyfriend Fred Gregor and her father are tourists in the dying city. That is until Selina is kidnapped by some survivors living in the dead city. Why is the city dying and can it be brought back to life?
