An ingenious, compelling mix of horror, fantasy, suspense and Jewish mysticism. Think Tolkien, albeit benefiting from a yeshiva education.
– Jonathan Kellerman
Has a sense of timelessness that makes it feel at once mythic and intimate. It has all the best pieces of history and fantasy woven into a single sweeping epic.
