"A superbly atmospheric story set in the old Prague ghetto featuring the Golem, a kind of rabbinical Frankenstein's monster, which manifests itself every 33 years in a room without a door. Stranger still, it seems to have the same face as the narrator. This extraordinary book combines uncanny psychology of doppelganger stories with expressionism and more than a little melodrama...Meyrink's old Prague - like Dicken's London - is one of the great creations of City writing...."
