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.
– Mary Robinette Kowal, Hugo-award winning author of The Calculating Stars
Astonishingly original. A literally spellbinding tale that is as much a poignant elegy as it is a wildly imaginative tragi-comic entertainment.
– Steve Stern, author of The Frozen Rabbi
This spellbinding novel brought me to the edge of my seat more times than I can count. It made me think deeply, feel profoundly, and pray hard – for a sequel.
– Ruchama King Feuerman, author of In the Courtyard of the Kabbalist
A terrific read, impossible to put down. An unforgettable world of demons, imps, werewolves, a golem, and a hero who triumphs over unspeakable evil.
– Greg Stout, author of Gideon’s Ghost and Lost Little Girl
A riveting read that weaves together an extraordinary tale from threads of the Bible, Kabbalah, Star Wars, Game of Thrones, and even Frozen.
– Rabbi Yakov Saacks, author of The Kabbalah of Life
A hero’s journey through the magical landscape of Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism.
– Izzy Abrahmson, author of The Village Twins and other tales of The Village Life
