Great story!
I don't read nearly enough Jewish folkhorror, or maybe there's just not enough out there. Loved this journey from Vienna in 1938, to Vienna in 1863, to Mesto Skla Bohemia in 1818 then back again.
Each time hop added more and more to the story. From Nazis vandalizing Jewish shops, to a young boy chipping a special window to a rabbi battling a demon each chapter pulls you into that specific time period.
For a short book, the author did an amazing job conveying the different time periods.
