If you’ve been anywhere within shouting distance for the past few months, you might know that CHARWOOD, my eco Jewish folk horror novel from Aggadah Try It, is finally out in the world! While this should be the time where I constantly refresh my browser to check reviews, I won’t be doing that. In fact, I won’t be reading hardly any of them at all.
And I’ll tell you why…

After joining the Tenders—a band of backwoods activists claiming to solve climate change by burning trees for energy—Orna Tannenbaum falls in with Rowan, their odd yet charming leader.
But when Orna uncovers what the Tenders are really up to in the forest, she must apply the ancient wisdom of her culture to battle dark forces threatening to gain a foothold in our world.

My Jewish warlock folk horror story, “Levi Cures the Plague,” is included in WITCH, WIZARD, WARLOCK, an anthology from Three Cousins Publishing.
On episode #55 of Josh’s Worst Nightmare Oddcast, Josh Schlossberg warns you about his new eco Jewish folk horror novel, CHARWOOD, published by Aggadah Try It/Madness Heart Press and out now from your local independent bookstore (order through Bookshop), Godless (ebook only), Barnes and Noble, and Amazon.
A seed sprouted. The sapling took root. And now CHARWOOD, my eco Jewish folk horror novel from Aggadah Try It, is growing in the forest, where, if it gets enough water and sun and avoids the chainsaws, it may someday flourish into a full-sized tree. That, or wither, die, and crumble back into the soil from which it came. Either way, my work here is done, and now, Dark Reader, CHARWOOD’s fate lies in your hands alone.
Whatever your experience of CHARWOOD, I guarantee it’ll be a journey you’ve not taken before, traveling, as it does, along the faint trails of eco horror, the forgotten backways of Jewish mysticism, and the well-trodden thoroughfares of folk horror.
Instead of going on and on (as is my wont), I’m going to shut up and let CHARWOOD speak for itself. You can find the book at your local independent bookseller (order through Bookshop.org), Godless.com, Barnes and Noble, or Amazon. And if you enjoy it, please rate, review, share, and maybe leave your copy somewhere deep in the pinewoods where a fellow wanderer might chance upon it.
