Czech born Austrian illustrator Alfred Kubin was once renowned for his bizarre black and white illustrations, giving any stories they accompanied a decidely macabre air. But back in the early 1900s, he attempted a writing career, writting his "The Other Side", a story of what happens when a rich man builds himself his own nation in North India, and forces everyone there to dress in wigs while he creepily stares off into space....and just as you think how quaint this all is, that's when the laws of nature give out and people start dying.
