Dark doings are afoot in the forests of Charwood…
Coming August 2023 from Aggadah Try It, Josh Schlossberg—editor of The Jewish Book of Horror, author of the cosmic horror novella, Malinae, 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 orthodox Jewish 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.
