The Appocalypse and Other Stories

The Appocalypse and Other Stories by Karl G. Trautman features eleven engaging tales exploring themes of youth, travel, and personal struggles, blending moments of pain, hope, and love with imaginative elements like inanimate objects coming alive. From stories set during the Great Depression to those capturing the awkwardness of adolescence in the 1970s, the collection also ventures into Japan with a scholar’s journey of discovery and a satirical look at technology's influence on society. Spanning a variety of settings and characters, these 59,000 words offer a compelling mix of human experiences and speculative tales.
