Lavie Tidhar’s HEBREWPUNK Available Again!

Posted on Tuesday, April 18th, 2023

Lavie Tidhar‘s collection of Jewish fantasy, HEBREWPUNK is available once again! Published by JABberwocky, here’s the synopsis…

In HebrewPunk, World Fantasy Award winning author Lavie Tidhar had reinvented pulp fantasy fiction in Jewish terms, creating a hidden world where fantasy, horror and history intertwine.

Featuring the Rabbi, the Rat and the Tzaddik, their stories take us on a journey from an expedition to an alternate world in Kenya in 1904 to the drug-soaked streets of 1920s London and to Transylvania in the Second World War.

Here are just a few of the great reviews the collection has received…

‘Imagine Hard-Boiled Kabbalah… If you like your otherworld fun noir, have I got a book for you!’ – Kage Baker, author of In the Garden of Iden

‘Wondrous, adventurous, and thought-provoking.’ – Ellen Datlow, co-editor of The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror

‘Tidhar writes a sort of intensified supernatural action-surrealism that fair rattles along and is full of surprises—not only plot twists and thrills but a level of conceptual surprise, a reinvigoration of some of the more tired conventions of the fantasy-horror genre… not to be missed.’ – Adam Roberts, author of The Thing Itself

Lavie is the author of a great number of critically acclaimed, award-winning and award-nominated novels, novellas, and short stories. His latest novels are MAROR (Head of Zeus) and NEOM (Tachyon Publications) — both out now.

New World SF StoryBundle Available Now!

Posted on Tuesday, March 28th, 2023

Lavie Tidhar has curated a new World SF StoryBundle! Available until mid-April, the bundle features 10 books selected from a variety of countries and cultures, showcasing the diversity of the science fiction genre. Here’s Lavie’s introduction to the bundle…

It’s been my great privilege over the past [mumble mumble] years to edit several anthologies devoted to international speculative fiction in all its forms, beginning with the first volume of The Apex Book of World SF back in 2009, done on a budget of chewing gum-and-string, and culminating this year with The Best of World SF: Volume 3 from Head of Zeus, the third in a series of huge, handsome hardcover volumes. Along the way I got to publish the World SF Blog for four years, and write about many international titles in a regular column for the Washington Post. But perhaps the most fun of these has been putting together these annual bundles for StoryBundle – a direct opportunity to offer readers a selection of wonderful books from around the world, at one low price, while directly benefiting the authors and their publishers. It is a reality of today’s publishing environment that the most exciting titles usually come from smaller presses, that in a crowded field it is hard to stand up, and that even a small bundle like this can often make a real difference to a book and its author.

The titles included are as follows:

  • SIGNAL TO NOISE by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
  • HADITHA & THE STATE OF BLACK SPECULATIVE FICTION by Eugen Bacon and Milton Davis
  • UNTO THE GODLESS WHAT LITTLE REMAINS by Mário Coelho
  • ION CURTAIN by Anya Ow
  • OF DRAGONS, FEASTS AND MURDERS by Aliette de Bodard
  • & THIS IS HOW TO STAY ALIVE by Shingai Njeri Kagunda
  • NOVA HELLAS: STORIES FROM FUTURE GREECE edited by Francesca T Barbini and Francesco Verso
  • HEBREWPUNK by Lavie Tidhar
  • THE LOVE MACHINE & OTHER CONTRAPTIONS by Nir Yaniv
  • AND WHAT CAN WE OFFER YOU TONIGHT by Premee Mohamed

Lavie is also the editor of the Best of World SF series of anthologies, published by Head of Zeus; he is also the multi-award winning author of many novels, novellas, and short stories.
