Within the pages of this book, you'll meet an urban demon, a witch in the suburbs, a Jewish vampire, a magic dog, and a golem named Judith. You'll find out what happened to Marx, Freud, and Einstein after they died, read lost Jewish texts, learn about the messiah and her unfolding mission, and spend time with a goofy angel and a kvetchy one--the two of them (perhaps) a couple, but neither of them the transmitters of these tales.
