John A. Keel

It was a bad day in July 2009 when i heard JK had passed away.
He was old enough to have been my father...and in some ways he was my philosophical father.
I read every one of Keel's books i could get my grubby, eager little hands on. My first Keel book was Strange Creatures from Time and Space (1970)...a world of mystery and wonder contained in a paperback book with a fantastic Frank Frazetta cover... for 75 cents.

Keel was very well read, had a very sharp distinctive writing style, a wicked sense of humor at times, and opened up whole new ways of viewing the world that permanently warped my young brain in a good way.

Keel revealed our world to be a much larger, stranger, more mysterious place lurking at the edge of the reality we normally observe.

God Bless you John Keel...Thank you...and well done.
