Creeping Death of the Nile

where can i buy neurontin online As a supplement to the last post, and, I hope, a treat for Jadoo fans, here’s one of the first stories John sent to Alex Jackinson. As I mentioned, he bound all the stories he wrote that year in a volume he just labeled “1955,” with all sales and prices noted. The first entry is dated January 16, and, as the scrawled “Shelved!” indicates, didn’t sell. “Creeping Death of the Nile” is plainly fiction (John was not, in fact, planning to go big-game hunting in South Africa), and as pulpy as it gets. In the course of it, John and Jock escape from a flooded pyramid, only to end in a ruined temple swarming with scorpions. As you can imagine, they barely escape with their lives. He hadn’t caught the formula yet, but four days later, he wrote another one, “End of the Hunt,” which he sold to Sport Life for $200.

Here’s the beginning of “Creeping Death of the Nile,” which is probably sufficient!
