Ze'ev Kaplan is not your average prayer leader. Hell, he's not even a prayer leader, despite what his friends, family, and girlfriend might think. Ze'ev leads a strange double life, as an exorcist and monster-hunter for the Jewish Community of Texas. What starts as a simple exorcism reveals him to the schemes of a sordid necromancer who will stop at nothing to kill anyone who stands in his way. The mad man sends an assassin after Ze'ev setting off a chain of events that has him dodging cultists, ghouls, the cops, and an overweight bulldog at every turn. Can Ze'ev beat the odds and put an end to the necromantic cult festering in the heart of Texas, or will he end up being the victim of Treif Magic? Book 1 of the 'Book of Ze'ev' Series
Author
John Baltisberger is an author of speculative and genre fiction that often focuses on Jewish Elements. Through his writing, he has explored themes of mysticism, faith, sin, and personal responsibility. He lives in Austin, TX with his wife and his daughter. Though mostly known for his bizarre blend of Jewish mysticism and splatter, John defies being labeled under any one genre. His work has spanned extreme horror, urban fantasy, science fiction, cosmic horror, epic verse, and he has even written a guide for mindful meditation. While relatively new to the writing community, (his first book was published in 2018) John has become known for his work in verse, having worked in both extremely short works and massive novella-length poetic epics. He continues to work to push himself to explore new avenues of expression and horror literature.
