This story is a hotchpotch of no-noes pleached into a tantalising horror tale strong enough to put the willies up (figuratively speaking, natch) the Germans with their fear of doppelgangers, Jews everywhere, and the incredibly superstitious Prague-ites. Fantastic. This is low down and dirty, and it starts off when Rabbi Loew see in the stars that something horrible will befall mankind.
Yes, folks ::SOMETHING HORRIBLE::
I plan to read Singer’s version of the story to compare, and if you are not up for this book, the fruit of a failed suicide and rabid occultist, then maybe the silent film will suit better:
