But the years took their toll, Bassett\u2019s work fell out of favor, and eventually, the man himself dropped out of sight. By the time the world learned of his death in 1969, few noticed or cared.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Years later, a school teacher named Andy Gillespie sets out to write about Bassett\u2019s life and visits the author\u2019s hometown, eager to learn about his early years. He arrives in Rock Creek, Michigan, expecting to find a small town proud of its famous son, but what greets him is something much different. Only a handful of old-timers even remember Bassett\u2019s name, and most have no interest in Andy\u2019s quest. Doors are slammed in his face. People turn away. Even the few who seem willing to talk \u2013 an enthusiastic high school student, an eccentric shopkeeper, a colorful hotel owner, an elderly hermit \u2013 raise more questions than they answer.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Despite the odds against him, Andy continues to dig. From dusty library shelves to the neglected stones in a lonely graveyard, from the pages of forgotten journals to the shores of a remote island, he keeps on searching, and gradually he begins to unbury fragments of the truth, revealing glimpses into Alexander Bassett\u2019s past that are unexpected, mysterious, and frightening.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Then the notes start to arrive.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Alexander\u2019s Song<\/em>\u00a0is the story of an author nearly forgotten by time, a man whose life was nothing like it seemed, and a chain of darkness that began decades ago and is not finished yet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cemeterydance.com\/alexandersong-Olson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Learn more at Cemetery Dance.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cemetery Dance is proud to publish Paul F.
