The Weird and the Wonderful DXXIII: The Mark of the Devil by Zdeněk Matěj Kuděj

Today we will cover an obscure work by Czech writer, traveller, gold-digger, dishwasher, cowboy and tramp, Zdeněk Matěj Kuděj, his 1918 "The Mark of the Devil"
The first novella concerns a man who marries a woman who is obviously a witch, if his own time as a horse had taught him anything, while the second concerns a man recovering from a stroke being offered the elixir of life by a strange man who can read his thoughts.
