    The Story behind

    Once upon a time I read a blogpost by JRD Skinner about urban legends and quite at the same he told me about his interest in Vienna.

    Since I've been enjoying these old Vienna legends I thought about to record a reading of one of them. Unfortunatly I couldn't find some written in English and so I decided to write them down, based on the Austriangerman originals.

    I sent them to Flash Pulp and they put them on their Flash Cast.

    I hope you'll enjoy them too!



    Vienna 1847, Jakob Alt
