The Adventures of a Professional Corpse – four stories of a man who will die for you —for a fee. The Artificial Honeymoon (1940) – The secret of one of the strangest professions in the world. The Blind Farmer and the Strip Dancer (1940) – One man finds that death is at a premium, and that dying brings big dividends. The Wife of the Humorous Gangster (1940) – There’s good money in dying. It is surprising how many people can make use of a dead man. The Affair of the Shuteye Medium (1941) – He certainly took a dive when he invaded the spirit world! Henry James O’Brien Bedford-Jones (1887-1949) was born in Napanee, Ontario, Canada in 1887. After being encouraged to try writing by his friend, writer William Wallace Cook, Bedford-Jones began writing dime novels and pulp magazine stories. Bedford-Jones was an enormously prolific writer; the pulp editor Harold Hersey once recalled meeting Bedford-Jones in Paris, where he was working on two novels simultaneously, each story on its own separate typewriter. He wrote over 100 novels, earning the nickname “King of the Pulps”. Bedford-Jones became a naturalized United States citizen in 1908. He died on May 6, 1949 (aged 62) in Beverly Hills, California. The Adventures of a Professional Corpse has 4 illustrations.
