On This Day in Weird, April 4....
1948: Future best-selling author Dan Simmons is born in
Peoria, Illinois. His many macabre novels include The Abominable,
featuring a search for missing climbers and the yeti on Mount Everest.
1968: A sniper's bullet kills Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in
Memphis, Tennessee. Despite a distinctly peculiar guilty plea from "lone
assassin" James Earl Ray, evidence of conspiracy proliferates, spawning
several books on the case...including one by Yours Truly.
