THE CLASSIC COLLECTION OF JEWISH FANTASY!
"Marks a milestone in the literature of the fantastic." Paul Di Filippo, author of The Steampunk Trilogy
In HebrewPunk, World Fantasy Award winning author Lavie Tidhar had reinvented pulp fantasy fiction in Jewish terms, creating a hidden world where fantasy, horror and history intertwine.
Featuring the Rabbi, the Rat and the Tzaddik, their stories take us on a journey from an expedition to an alternate world in Kenya in 1904 to the drug-soaked streets of 1920s London and to Transylvania in the Second World War.
"Imagine Hard-Boiled Kabbalah... If you like your otherworld fun noir, have I got a book for you!" Kage Baker, author of In the Garden of Iden
"Wondrous, adventurous, and thought-provoking." Ellen Datlow, co-editor of The Year's Best Fantasy and Horror
"Tidhar writes a sort of intensified supernatural action-surrealism that fair rattles along and is full of surprises-not only plot twists and thrills but a level of conceptual surprise, a reinvigoration of some of the more tired conventions of the fantasy-horror genre... not to be missed." Adam Roberts, author of The Thing Itself
