The Harry Stephen Keeler Society is simply a group of individuals who not only have heard of Keeler, but actually like him. We find his stuff fascinating--even, and especially, at its most peculiar. Since our inception in January 1997, we've grown to some 75 members in half a dozen countries. Together, we're maintaining the memory of a man whose tangled dreams are part of the American heritage--whether America knows it or not!

We keep in touch through Keeler News, which features articles, reviews, letters, Keeler novels for sale, and more. Four issues of Keeler News are published per year, with around 16 pages per issue. Back issues of Keeler News are available online in PDF format.

A subscription to Keeler News on paper costs $12/year for North America, $16/year elsewhere, and is renewable at the beginning of each calendar year. An electronic subscription to Keeler News is $4/year, worldwide (or is included on request with a paper subscription); with this option, you can download a PDF version of each issue as it is published. (An electronic subscription is free on request when subscribing to the paper version.)

Mail payments to the editor of Keeler News, Richard Polt, at 4745 Winton Rd., Cincinnati, OH 45232, USA. Send checks drawn on a U.S. bank and made out to Richard Polt, money orders, or cash.
