The Way Back

The Way Back by Gavriel Savit

Text from the back cover:

For the Jews of Eastern Europe, demons are everywhere: dancing on the rooftops in the darkness of midnight, congregating in the trees, harrowing the dead, even reaching out to try and steal away the living.  But the demons have a land of their own: a Far Country peopled with the souls of the transient dead, governed by demonic dukes, barons, and earls.  When the Angel of Death comes strolling through the little shtetl [town] of Tupik one night, two young people will be sent spinning off on a journey through the Far Country.  There they will make pacts with ancient demons, declare war on Death himself, and maybe -- just maybe -- find a way to make it back alive.
