Horror, Short Stories

A piratical rabbi who fights zombies. A man-eating Sasquatch in a top hat. An intrepid ghost hunter who dares meet the Devil on his own turf. These are some of the characters whose paths you'll cross in A MEETING AT THE DEVIL'S HOUSE AND OTHER STORIES. Welcome to the imagination of Richard Dansky, where legends walk, angels whisper, and unicorns are forced into impossible hopes. Explore the darkest chambers of the human heart or meet face-to-face with evil beyond understanding, as the stories in this collection will terrify and delight in equal measure.

This collection of books featuring Jewish main characters is decidedly non-comprehensive. As we come across books that are described as having Jewish main characters, we add them to this database. The creators of the Jewish Genre Reading Challenge have not read all (or even most) of the books in this database. We have gathered information from many sources and not all may be accurate. Inclusion of a book in our database does not imply endorsement or approval. There is always the possibility that antisemitism may be present in a book, either written into a character's experience or through malicious or ignorant caricature or stereotypical portrayal of Jewish characters and culture. Please take care of yourselves as you read. 

PLEASE let us know if you encounter a book in this database that does not have a Jewish main character, if you have corrections or additions for a book's genre categories, or if you have any other concerns about the inclusion of a particular book in this database.
