Weesp John wrote proposals for a number of books that never got the green light. Here’s one: Strange Exits, a book about unusual deaths. The proposal is ten pages, so I’ll divide it into two posts. Included with it, by the way, were three of John’s magazine articles: “He Climbed Everest Alone!” (Argosy, March 1956), “UFOs and the Strange Deaths of our Astronauts — Or Was It MURDER?” (Saga, August, 1971), and “Carnarvon’s Curse” (unidentified).
Doug: This would have been a fascinating (though I suspect probably shorter than most of JAK’s earlier works) book. Can’t wait to read Part II. As ever, thank you!
Best,
Bill G.

I’m glad you’re enjoying these, Bill. Who knows what John would have done with this idea?

Damn that Knox Burger!
I feel totally cheated. This would have been amazing.
