If you have ever been interested in jewish folklore, it’s the closet to “accurate” you’re probably gonna get over everything else. its depiction of a dybbuk is far more accurate than the nonsense people have latched onto. If you don’t know, the dybbuk box story was not accurate to how a dybbuk works at all
Oh man…. I JUST finished that book like a month ago. Absolutely loved it. Very well written. Pacing was solid. Didn’t know I was interested in Jewish folklore but this book was fascinating. Gave me “American Gods” vibes but more concise…
The lore of it is surprisingly accurate to jewish mythology and philosophy
