A Great Read

I received this book personally from the author. I was expecting just another thriller, and then I opened the cover and jumped in fright. That was just a taste of what was to come. It wis an excellent read...a real page turner!!

Don't let the grotesquely trite picture on the cover fool you, this is a book of extraordinary depth, with several artistically woven subplots. The book draws heavily on Jewish Mysticism and European Jewish history, superimposed on a modern setting. It is an absolutely riveting piece of work, and I eagerly await Henry Hocherman's next masterpiece!

Fantastic book!

Hocherman's mixture of the yiddish folklore 'The Dybbuk' and the cinema clasic 'The Exorcist' combine to make a book that you just can't put down! It picks up from page one and captivates the reader until the very end of the book. It leaves you screaming for more. The book is enjoyable on many levels, specifically an intelectual level. The book isn't for those who want the book to think for them, and that is what makes it such a terrific read. 5 Stars, One of the best books i have ever read.

A hell of a great read!!

Hocherman is right -- the cover tells you nothing about the book, which is fast-paced, constantly thrilling and extremely thought provoking. I saw it on the shelf of a friend, picked it up and started it that afternoon. I couldnt put it down until I had turned the last page five hours later. I recommend this book highly to anyone who can find it. And shame on the publisher for not keeping this book in print!!
