HebrewPunk by Lavie Tidhar<\/strong> (Preorders<\/em><\/strong>)<\/p>\n

Allow me a moment to shill.<\/p>\n

HebrewPunk<\/strong> by Lavie Tidhar<\/em> is a collection of two short stories, one novelette, and one novella. The stories amount to 35,000 words of fiction. The title is a reflection of the sub-genre that Lavie is introducing to the world.<\/p>\n

The Rabbi<\/strong>. The Tzaddik<\/strong>. The Rat<\/strong>. In HebrewPunk<\/em><\/strong>, Jewish mythology is mixed with fantastical and science fiction settings. It’s quite a unique combination.<\/p>\n

“The Heist<\/strong>” is the first of the four stories. It introduces our Jewish heroes. I think of it as Ocean’s Eleven meets urban fantasy. Except darker and infinitely more exciting. Indeed, there is a heist, our crew is assembled, and the action takes off from there.<\/p>\n

“Transylvania Mission<\/strong>” drops us into the middle of Eastern Europe during WWII. Here, The Rat must face down the insidious Nazi, Mengale, in a gripping and vicious finale inside Vlad “The Impaler” Tepes’s old castle.<\/p>\n

“Uganda<\/strong>” is a thoughtful, quiet piece that relates The Rabbi’s experiences while traveling with missionaries in search of a new homeland for the Jewish people.<\/p>\n

“The Dope Fiend<\/strong>” centers around The Tzaddik. The Tzaddik is a wonderfully flawed in the pulp hero tradition. He finds himself the target of an angel’s retribution in a muddy early-20th century London. This story grabs you and doesn’t let up until you’re dropped into the cleverly crafted climax.<\/p>\n

HebrewPunk<\/strong> is enthusiastically blurbed by the likes of Ellen Datlow<\/em>, Kage Baker<\/em>, Adam Roberts<\/em>, and Paul DiFillipo<\/em>; if you’re a fan of fantasy or a fan of short story collections, then this one is one I guarantee you will enjoy.<\/p>\n

Also includes an introduction by Laura Anne Gilman<\/em> (Burning Bridges).<\/p>\n
