CHARWOOD is coming on August 21. And, no, you’re not ready.

My story, “Happy Campers,” about a camping trip gone horribly awry, was published in R IS FOR REVENGE by Red Cape Publishing along with a slew of other excellent indie horror authors.

Dark doings are afoot in the forests of Charwood…

On August 21 from Aggadah Try It / Madness Heart Press, Josh Schlossberg—author of the cosmic horror novella Malinae, editor of The Jewish Book of Horror, and longtime environmental organizer—delivers CHARWOOD, an ecological Jewish folk horror novel 5,783 years in the making.

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.

When she triggers a tragic accident, Orna must fend off blackmail and cope with panic attacks, all while weathering the surprise visit of her estranged father.

Until she uncovers what the Tenders are really up to in the forest and must apply the ancient wisdom of her culture to battle dark forces threatening to gain a foothold in the world. 

On episode #18 of Josh’s Worst Nightmare, host Josh Schlossberg battens down the hatches with Kathleen Kaufman, author of the DIABHAL trilogy, to prepare for natural disasters in horror fiction.

I’m terrified to announce the table of contents for THE JEWISH BOOK OF HORROR, the anthology I’m editing for Denver Horror Collective, due out Hanukkah 2021.
