An artist is invited to a secret Dream Realm hidden in Central Asia, a walled city where an all-powerful, unseen master has built a decaying paradise from the debris of the past.

Alfred Kubin's 1909 'The Other Side,' by the great Austrian graphic artist, is a hallucinatory masterpiece of dark fantasy about a dream-kingdom sliding into nightmare and dissolution. Strange, disturbing, unforgettable. Read it for a foundational work of surreal, apocalyptic fantasy from a visionary of the uncanny.
