It will be difficult to describe the "key concepts" of existentialism as it is a very broad subject. What is usually emphasized in this worldview is the focus on existence preceeding essence and angst.
Check out the writings of Sartre and Camus for starters. I highly recommend Camus' "The Plague" and Sartre's "The Wall" for starters. Both are short fictional stories that should give you a flavour for existentialism.
The Wall is even available online at: The Wall (1939) | Jean-Paul Sartre
