The Weird and the Wonderful DXXXVII: The Monsters of Dr. Garga by Sláva Václav Jelínek

Today we return to the work of graphomaniac and german collaborator Sláva Václav Jelínek, specifically his 1932 "The Monsters of Dr. Garga", the story of a mad doctor who escaped from a mad house and kidnaps a young man's wife to impregnate her with the seed of a dead murderer, for science.

why would someone write such a story? what is the point i don't get the point.

[@WeirdWonderful]

Jelinek seemed content to basically use Ewers' story as reason for his own existing, but I feel he didn't add enough of his own to the scenario so it is kind of anemic.

​@@WeirdWonderful thanks for the reply. do you think that someone who hasn't experienced anything "supernatural" can truly enjoy this sort of fiction? like most people go after repeatability.

@@low3242 Of course, I do and I have never experienced anything supernatural : D
