Horror, Short Stories

by Maxwell Bauman

Maxwell Bauman's debut collection of Jewish horror fiction, and Finalist for the 2018 Wonderland Book Awards for Best Collection, is back better than ever as THE REVISED ANARCHIST'S KOSHER COOKBOOK, complete with 3 new stories! These stories range from comical to frightening, including; a chatty burning bush, instructions to craft a golem to fight off Neo Nazis, and a girl summons a demon to have a better Bat Mitzvah party than her snooty rival. So strap on your bulletproof vest, light your Mazel Tov cocktail, and get ready for a chaotic and revolutionary collection from the Chosen People’s chosen author, Maxwell Bauman!

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.
