Eric Stenbock

[citation needed] Stenbock's father died suddenly while he was one year old; his properties were held in trust for him by his grandfather Magnus.

Eric traveled to and lived in Kolga for a year and a half; he returned to England in the summer of 1887, during which time he sank deeper into alcoholism and drug addiction.

This doll he referred to as "le Petit Comte" ("the little Count") and told everyone that it was his son; he insisted it be brought to him daily, and—when it was absent—he asked about its health.

He published a number of books of verse during his lifetime, including Love, Sleep, and Dreams, 1881, and Rue, Myrtle, and Cypress (1883).

[citation needed] The band Current 93 made an album of the same name of incidental music inspired by Stenbock's Faust story.

Marc Almond and Michael Cashmore released the two-track CD Gabriel & The Lunatic Lover in 2008 with two songs based on Stenbock's poems by the same name.

Strange Attractor Press published a collection of Stenbock's short stories, poems, and essays, Of Kings and Things[3] in 2019.
