“Levi Cures the Plague” in WITCH, WIZARD, WARLOCK
My Jewish warlock folk horror story, “Levi Cures the Plague,” is included in WITCH, WIZARD, WARLOCK, an anthology from Three Cousins Publishing.

CHARWOOD Sprouts
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.
CHARWOOD Out Now!
Out now from Aggadah Try It / Madness Heart Press, Josh Schlossberg brings you CHARWOOD, an ecological 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.
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.

Why Write Eco Horror?
Can writing fiction about the eco-crisis do what science, advocacy, and journalism have not? As in, can storytelling uncover the root of our abusive relationship with the natural world and inspire meaningful action?
