The August Derleth Society is a non-profit organization formed in the late 1970’s to actively preserve the rich memory of Wisconsin’s greatest and most prolific author. Our goal is to encourage the study of August Derleth’s work and to preserve the memory of this compelling American writer, publisher, editor, columnist, environmentalist and teacher.

The August Derleth Society is pleased to congratulate Past President David and Donna Rajchel on their retirement from our board of directors. David and Donna’s presence on our board was so great - that we are seeking 3 new board members to be appointed at this year’s member’s meeting held at Walden West Fest, November 12th - with elections of officers from 12pm-1pm. Come have a brat and listen to our speakers from 1pm-2pm. During this 2 year term The August Derleth Society looks forward to publishing Moontenders (an old favorite) with an updated package of illustrations and the release of August Derleth’s A Sac Prairie Almanac — our radio show dedicated to the works of August Derleth published under the imprints Arkham House, Mycroft & Moran and Stanton & Lee.
