The Shtetl Book: Jewish Horror Stories by Daniel Kluger

The heroes of the book “The Shtetl Book” are residents of the small Jewish town of Yavoritsy, who were faced with formidable otherworldly forces. Daniel Kluger defined the genre of his book as a “novel in stories”, its structure is close to the structure of the famous “Jungle Books” by Rudyard Kipling. At first glance, this definition seems strange: there is no single hero and no single storyline. Only towards the end of the book does the reader begin to understand that such a hero is the entire Jewish community, which has been fighting evil from generation to generation.
