Three long-form camping horror stories in one compilation. Endings that do not resolve.BLACKROCK BALDA recently separated welder drives up to an old family campsite in the Ochoco foothills of Oregon to sit alone with what he has lost. On the second morning a family appears at the site next to his. Their truck arrived silently overnight. The father speaks of his family in the third person plural. The mother stands too close and stares at his tent. The children do not eat, and they will not look at him.THE TAPPING MANA laid-off insurance clerk hikes into the Adirondack backcountry to spread his brother's ashes at a spring the two of them called the Chapel. On the way in he finds hemlocks with four holes drilled in a line. Then a paralyzed buck with the same hole at the base of its ear. Then something behind a birch tree at the Chapel that should not be able to stand where it is standing.THE MAN WHO DIDN'T SAY HIS NAMEAn ex-Army solo backpacker four days into an eight-day trip in the Wind River Range meets a man in dress shoes who walks into his clearing without a pack and cannot remember how he got there. The man calls himself Jim Hendricks from Colorado Springs. Two years later there is no Jim Hendricks in Colorado Springs.
