http://thewoodlandretreat.com/?wordfence_lh=1 BOOKS

[I’ve included here JAK’s introductions to others’ books and his 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 sometimes 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.]

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.]

  5. Hello,

    I’ve search after a contact address in this blog, but couldn’t find one. So I have to ask hear: Who has the rights at the graphics in “The Cosmic Question”, particulary the graphic of The superspectrum on p. 87. I wanna used it for an own publication.

    Greetings from Germany
    Roland M. Horn

    Comment by Roland M. Horn — July 9, 2012 @ 2:46 pm

  6. Oh, I see, I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my posting above. Unfortunately I cannot correct them. Sorry!

    Comment by Roland M. Horn — July 9, 2012 @ 3:09 pm

  7. I’m not sure who has the rights to that one now. It should revert to John’s half-sister, but a publisher may have some claim on it. There are efforts in progress to put out another edition; I hope the rights get straightened out soon…

    Comment by Doug — July 10, 2012 @ 9:33 pm

  8. Thank you for answering. In the book is written “Copyright John Keel 1975”. So I think that he had the rights. Do you have an address of his half-sister?

    Comment by Roland M. Horn — July 11, 2012 @ 6:19 am

  9. Where can I read more about John Keel’s theory of belief he discussed in the Mothman Prophecies?

    Comment by Jordan Rich — November 10, 2012 @ 9:46 pm

  10. Well, “The Eighth Tower” is sort of a companion volume, developing material cut from “Mothman.” It was published in England as “The Cosmic Question,” which may be easier to find.

  12. Hi, I have the book “Mysteries Of The Orient – Jadoo”, it has a painted cover of a caveman type character. Would you happen to know who the cover artist was? I enjoyed the book by the way. Thank you…

    Comment by Mike — September 12, 2013 @ 6:11 pm

  19. Hi Doug!
    Glad to have given new information.
    A bunch of Keel’s articles have been translated and published in Italy but I think John has never been paid for them.
    Maybe they come from Fate or other magazines.
    If you want infos about them, just let me know.

Boyle Kanno inviting her to one of his poetry readings along with Edwin Markham [and his bust she had just completed]. This was in 1930 just before she ran off to do the bust of Einstein in Pasadena. In the process of looking at your site I then discovered that John Keel knew my wife’s Uncle and Aunt who were authorities on UFOs, the Lorenzens.

  23. John saved many of Romatka’s books and pamphlets. He was quite a poetry buff in his early years. And yes, he had quite a correspondence with the Lorenzens. Your Great Aunt sounds like a fascinating woman!

  24. Hi Doug.
    Just to tell you that The Eighth Tower has been published in Italy this month. The italian title is: L’Ottava Torre (you can read the details here: http://www.venexia.it/libri/collane/i-ponti/lottava-torre/).
    You can add it to the bibliography, if you want.

  25. Thanks, Gianfranco! I’ll add it.

  26. Hi Doug,
    You probably already know this, but Andrew Colvin’s New Saucerian Books has added a number of additional posthumous collections of Keel’s work to their catalog in addition to the four you list. They include: Searching for the String (2014), The Great Phonograph in the Sky (2015), The Book of Mothman: Everything You Wanted to Know About Reality Distortion But Were Afraid to Ask (2015 – a pared-down collection of selected writings from Flying Saucers to the Center of Your Mind, The Outer Limits of the Twilight Zone, Searching for the String, and The Great Phonograph in the Sky), Pursuing the Addenda: Supernatural Reports From the Natural World (2016), I Never Would Have Slept With You If I Had Known You Were a Giant Birdman From Outer Space: Ancient Aliens and Other Mysteries of the Modern Mind (2016), and The Big Breakthrough: Confronting UFOs, Men in Black, Mothman, and Mysterious Humanoids – Trojan Horses of a Breakaway Civilization? (2017)… I can’t imagine that Colvin could milk this any further, but I, for one, am just glad to have John’s articles and other writing back in print after all this time… Also, thanks for your dedication and hard work on the site! – You’re keeping the memory of a great author (and your friend) alive, and that’s saying a lot these days. 🙂

    Comment by Paul — September 4, 2017 @ 3:14 pm

  27. Thanks! I’ve sent Colvin material in the past, and he’s sent me books, but I haven’t kept up with all his reprints.

  28. Hi Doug,

    Here’s yet another posthumous anthology of JAK’s writings that’s currently available: Anomaly – The Irregular Newletter (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/136524833X/)… Once again, I’m glad to see these writings back in print once more. It’s great to see the renewed interest in Keel’s work reflected in all the posthumous collections in print at this time, although it’s too bad that he didn’t live long enough to reap the benefits from the additional sales. Thanks again for your dedication and hard work on the site!

    Comment by Paul — September 13, 2017 @ 12:40 pm

  29. …Sorry – got the title of the book mixed up: It’s actually “Anomaly – The Irregular Newsletter Edited by John Keel”. My bad! Take care…

    Comment by Paul — September 13, 2017 @ 12:43 pm

  30. Hi Doug,

    Was just reading The Best of John Keel Volume 1 and noticed that in his Fate column for January 1992 (“This is Where I Came In”) John mentioned that he wrote some articles on space exploration in the early 1960’s. Have you ever seen any of these articles and/or did John and you ever discuss them?… Also, I know it’s been a while, but is there any possibility that further compilations of John’s Fate columns will be published? I think a few of them saw the light of day again in some of Andrew Colvin’s New Saucerian imprints, but a “The Best of John Keel Volume 2” (and so on) would certainly be nice to see! Thanks again for the dedication, hard work, and just a great website in general.

    Comment by Paul — October 1, 2017 @ 4:24 pm

  31. Paul — I don’t know of any articles John wrote about space exploration. However, he wrote regularly for the North American News Alliance, and he may have written something for them. Phyllis Galde, the editor of Fate, has talked about putting out a second volume; I hope she does. She’s busy with the magazine; this is not a boom time for magazines.

    Comment by Doug — October 1, 2017 @ 11:18 pm

  32. In the forward to Operation Trojan Horse, JAK mentions that the original manuscript was 2000 pages long. Does this manuscript still exist? Has it been published? Can it be published?

    Also Mothman Prophecies was edited down, does the original longer version still exist and could it be published? It incorporates The Eighth Tower but maybe there are some parts that didn’t make it into either book?

    Director’s Cut versions of both books, I’d like to read them sometime.

    Comment by Steve B — October 18, 2017 @ 8:58 pm

  33. are you a relative of john keel, and if the mothman visits someone is their a meaning behind it

    Comment by deborah — November 4, 2018 @ 11:26 pm

  34. i know you prob hear this all the time but in my case its truth, the mothman visited me at my home in miami, my question is why me. it only happened once so far, and why did it stop why only one time. i figure it would be a serious of interactions yet just one .

    Comment by deborah — November 4, 2018 @ 11:29 pm

  35. No, I’m not a relative; I was a friend of John’s, and one of the people who tried to take care of him in his last days. A Mothman visit probably means something, but I’m afraid I don’t know what it is.

    Comment by Doug — November 5, 2018 @ 8:50 am

  36. Hi Doug,
    we were both in the INFO Journal all these years ago. I find no mention on the German edition of Keel’s mothman book, which is The Mothman Prophecies – Tödliche Visionen. Munich: Heyne 2002 (paperback edition), 300 pp., ISBN: 978-3453215115. It was done because of the movie, no other Keel titles were translated to German.
    Keep on the good work, Ulrich

    Comment by Ulrich Magin — July 4, 2019 @ 11:06 am

  37. Thanks, Ulrich! I’ll add it to the bibliography.
