Side Real Press, 2021 Kokain - The Modern Revue was a magazine produced in Vienna and ran for five issues during 1925.

Until now. Ably translated by Joe E. Bandel, Kokain includes works by such well-known names as Hanns Heinz Ewers (1871-1943) (including two hitherto unrecognised pieces contributed under pseudonyms), Karl Hans Strobl (1877-1946) author and editor of Der Orchideengarten- the worlds first fantasy magazine, the Russian expressionist Leonid Andreyev (1871 1919), Paul Leppin (1878-1945) the German-Bohemian Baudelaire and Joseph Roth (1894-1939) author of The Radetzky March.
