John A. Keel: A Bibliography
[This bibliography is a continuing work in progress; suggestions, additions, and corrections are welcome.]
BOOKS
[I've included here JAK's introductions to others' books, and contributions to anthologies. Some of his books were reprinted under different titles; I've listed those separately. I've also listed translations separately, since the titles to those also vary considerably from the original. If the foreign title is the same (like the French edition of Jadoo), or if I can't read it (like the Japanese editions), I've listed it under the original. Good luck!]

MAGAZINE PIECES
[JAK also wrote regular columns for the North American Newspaper Alliance, Saga ("Ancient Astronauts, Modern Mysteries"), and Fate ("Beyond the Known"); I haven't itemized those separately. I've added a few descriptions, if it seemed helpful. JAK's own comments on his '50s articles are taken from "Bosoms, Blood, and Baloney" (Writer's Digest, Apr. 1958); those on his '60s pieces are from his newsletter Anomaly.]

vivid color, drama and sex.”

1956.
According to JAK: “During one of my chats with Tenzing Norgay he
happened to mention being with an expedition in 1935 that found the body of a
man who attempted to climb Everest alone and nearly made it… I was able to
collect a lot of hitherto unknown details… and I came up with a corking story

an Indian ship through the Persian Gulf and the ship’s doctor told me a
fascinating story about a man he’d once treated in India who had saved his life
by thrusting his arm down the throat of an attacking tiger… But editors found my
ending implausible… I was forced to add a final paragraph where ‘I’ manages to
unsheath a knife with his free hand and kill the tiger with it.”

SCRIPTS FOR AMERICAN FORCES NETWORK
[JAK wrote a variety of material for the AFN. Many of his scripts were for continuing series. "Command Conference" and "Command Theater" dramatized material from "Troop Topics": instructive pamphlets on military issues. JAK often turned them into science fiction or comedy, often with the continuing character Private Mulvaney. "Take Ten" was a series of brief fillers. "Around the Town" gave information on film screenings and other events in Frankfurt, presented as dialogue between soldiers. Many of his scripts were also holiday specials. I've added a few descriptions, where that seems useful.]
