THE JEWISH BOOK OF HORROREdited by Josh SchlossbergHorror 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.TABLE OF CONTENTSAn Orchard of Terror: Scary Stories and the Jewish Tradition by Rabbi John CarrierOrigins of The Jewish Book of Horror by Josh SchlossbergTorah-Fying Tales: An Introduction to Jewish Horror by Molly AdamsOn Seas of Blood and Salt by Richard DanskyThe Last Plague by KD CaseyThe 38th Funeral by Marc MorgensternSame as Yesterday by Alter S.
