About this ebook
"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
