The Jewish Book of Horror Daniel Braum

THE JEWISH BOOK OF HORROR

Edited by Josh Schlossberg




Horror is part of the human condition, but few peoples across the ages know it quite like the Jews.




From slavery to pogroms to the Holocaust to antisemitism, the "Chosen People" have not only endured hell on Earth, they've risen above it to share their stories with the world.




Whether it's pirate rabbis or demon-slaying Bible queens, concentration camp vampires or beloved, fearless bubbies, THE JEWISH BOOK OF HORROR offers you twenty-two dark tales about the culture, history, and folklore of the Jewish people.
