Mason Gorey: A Haunting Catskill Elegy

Bys: Ellis, Stephanie and Keene, Shane Douglas

Camp Kaatskill near the small New York town of Wildham was once an idyllic spot for summer and fall getaways. Surrounded by a wild thicket of black walnut, aspen, and evergreen, reflected by the reservoir and overshadowed by its dam. Camp Kaatskill seemed like the perfect destination for young Rachel Starck to spend her summer interning and experiencing the world beyond England.

But this Catskill hamlet harbors a dark secret, a sordid past, and an ancient curse that demands a blood toll each summer. Unbeknownst to Rachel, her own familial history is intricately entwined with that of Wildham, and her arrival will spark a conflagration of murder and mayhem unlike any the town has seen before.

Told in verse and prose poetry, Mason Gorey: A Haunting Catskill Elegy is an epic serial killer yarn; a tragedy; an exercise in monstrosity and brutality that culminates in an achingly human story.
