Johann August Apel – författare

Johann August Apel was a keen writer of speculative fiction. Between 1810 and 1817, he published a large anthology of ghost stories called Das Gespensterbuch (The Ghost Book). This collection included ''The Fatal Marksman'' - arguably his best-known tale. Many of the horror stories of monsters and ghouls, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
