Burrito Boy

I love thinking up titles for non-existent books - it's a habit I picked up from Lovecraft and Howard - and figured I'd share a few. (Hopefully I'll add more later.) [Now with condescending descriptions of why the titles are clever. Although I'll probably remove those later.]

King of the Red Coast: The Invasion of Normandy by Robert E. Howard (A play on the REH story "Queen of the Black Coast" and the idea that he might have gone on to serve in WWII if he hadn't killed himself.)

An Encyclopedia of Martian Harnesses by John Carter with photos by Edgar Rice Burroughs

Ooze and Oz: Pollution in the Emerald City by Dorothy

Purple Haze: My Experience In Vietnam by James Hendrix (Not quite happy with this title. I'm thinking of working in the 101st Airborne Division somehow. (Yes, Virginia, Jimi Hendrix was a member of The Screaming Eagles.))

Yes, I Can: Red Tails And Racism by Sammy Davis Jr. (Although he wasn't one of the Tuskegee Airmen, Sammy did serve in the Army during World War II. But I don't know any details.)

As you can probably tell, a lot of these were created for an alternate history I cooked up.
