Three for the Road

A. K. Applekamp is a native of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, living between Brooklyn, NY, and the quiet town of East Petersburg, PA. In his spare time he enjoys collecting natural arcana, reading pre-industrial liturgies, and practicing dead tongues. Behind the pop authors of our time, there are the Great Old Masters; beyond HPL, there’s the wily old fairie tale teller Lord Dunsay, the intriguing King in Yellow of Chambers, the entrancing phantoms of Algernon Blackwood and Arthur Machen, and other forays into the wilds of human thought. That’s where these stories emerge from….the chest of darkness in the corner of the library. See a small town grapple with its own Chthonic horrors – a small-time career professional come to terms with his mortality – and a young man brought into a new awakening through time’s petrifying portal. It’s all in this trio, a survey of the author’s research into the unknown.
