The Other Side (German: Die andere Seite. Ein phantastischer Roman) is a 1909 novel by the Austrian writer Alfred Kubin. It is about a man who is invited to come and live in a kingdom that has been created in Central Asia from old European buildings. Kubin was known as a draughtsman and The Other Side was his only novel. It was inspired by his own illustrations originally intended for the novel The Golem by Gustav Meyrink. It is regarded as a precursor to magical realism.
