Tentative titles of the third Riverworld novel. This novel has actually been published with the title The Dark Design (1977).

Announced as follows: "Presently he is working on a second novel for Essex House, And You, Red Judge, to be followed by the continuation of The Image of the Beast, tentatively titled Sketches Among the Ruins of My Mind."
The novels The Image of the Beast and the sequel, Blown, have been published by Essex House, but we never have seen anything anymore of the third announced novel.

For several years there were rumors and bibliographies with information that this sf/pornographic/gothic novel, written under the pseudonym William Norfolk M.D., had been published in 1965 or in 1971 by Rubicon Press. However, this novel was never published.
The fanzine Farmerage published this short article in 1979:

AS YOU DESIRE: THE TRUE STORY by George H. Scheetz Philip José Farmer fans long to acquire one book above all, i.e. As You Desire, by "William Norfolk, M.D." The only reason the book is known at all is because Farmer revealed it himself. This elusive title was written, sold to Rubicon Classics (contract dated 7 July 1969), but never published. Farmer still has a copy of the manuscript. Rubicon sold out to American Art Agency in the early 1970s. Perhaps the original manuscript is still extant. Farmer, however, declines selling it again.

A novel written in collaboration with Randall Garrett in the early fifties. It had been sold to Startling Stories but the magazine folded before the novel got published. The manuscript got lost. Farmer: "I still hope that it will turn up. I might rewrite it and send it out again." 

This novel was written in 1953 and scheduled for serialized publication in the magazine Startling Stories in that year. However Startling Stories gave up its monthly schedule and the novel disappeared until Ballantine published it in 1965 as Dare.

The first tentative title was Why Everybody Hates Me. A mystery novel/near future tale with Kent Lane, the illegitimate son of the Shadow, as hero. Meant to be published by Bobbs-Merrill.

Several times I saw this title mentioned as a to be written sequel to Jesus on Mars, and also often another title appeared with this, Josph Smith on Mercury. But never came an actual announcement of one or both of these titles. So, I am not sure if Farmer ever planned these books seriously as sequels, but they were never written.

Several sources (see also here).
 

Farmer: "A story set in the same world as my short story "The Sliced-Crosswise Only-On-Tuesday World", for Doubleday."
Instead of one novel with the never used title Daybreakers, Farmer wrote three novels: Dayworld (Putnam), Dayworld Rebel (Ace/Putnam) and Dayworld Breakup (Tor).
Another tentative title is The Hole in Wednesday (see under).

Luna Monthly: "Philip José Farmer is doing an original, Death's Dumb Trumpet, for Avon Books; about the necrology of mankind in 1990 when finis is written to our irreversibly polluted planet."
The Burroughs Bulletin: "I'm writing a novel, Death's Dumb Trumpet, about the effects of pollution twenty years from now."

Farmer has written the novel Escape From Loki (1991), but he had also ideas and notes for more stories or novels. For instance a sequel to the final Doc Savage story, Up from Earth's Center.

"Philip José Farmer has signed to do the novelization of Fantastic Voyage 2, the book which was originally supposed to be written by Isaac Asimov. ... Although the advance was not up to the $1 million + offered Asimov, it was more than a half million dollars, and the highest amount Farmer has ever been offered. ....."

"The saga of the book version of the unmade movie version of Fantastic Voyage 2 has taken another fantastic turn. Apparently Isaac Asimov, who turned down a $1 million + deal in 1984 as writer, will now, after all, write the book. Meanwhile Philip José Farmer, who accepted a $690,000 deal and wrote two books for it, is out in the cold with only a fraction of the money. .... Farmer was given the 20 page treatment and a $56,000 advance. He wrote a novel following the script and sent it to NAL. His NAL editor, Sheila Gilbert, had moved to DAW and Executive Editor Michaela Hamilton took over. She eventually rejected the manuscript and asked for a rewrite. Farmer turned in a second novel which was based on the ideas but did not slavishly follow the treatment. This too was rejected. .... Farmer commented "Now I wish Putnam hadn't given permission at all. If I were a literary terrorist, I'd blow up Doubleday and NAL!"."

According to one source Farmer planned to write at least three more novels, and according to another source he had originally plans to write from nine to twelve books in the Opar series. This didn't come true mainly because of the low advance and royalties payment for the novels, and also because of the luke response from the readers. Farmer then decided to write a third and final novel, but didn't have the time to write it because of other obligations. The last one had been announced for 1979 with the title Kwasin of Opar. This novel has been completed by Christopher Paul Carey, and announced again in 2008 with the new title The Song of Kwasin.

Formerly titled The Unruly Lance, or The Green Knight. A mainstream novel which takes place in the late 40's or early 50's when the GI's were coming back to college.

Farmer planned to write more stories and novels about Ralph Von Wau Wau, at least enough to fill a collection of stories. Two stories have been published; these were written by 'Jonathan Swift Somers III'. In these stories the following titles have been mentioned as other Ralph Von Wau Wau stories: "The Wonder of the Wandering Wound", "A Short Case of Longevity", "The Caper of Kupper, the Copper's Keeper", "The Case of the Stolen Dreams", "The Adventure of the Tired Color Man", "The Case of the Seeing Eye Man", "The Hind of the Basker-bergs", "The Shakedown of the Shook Sheik", "The Four Musicians of Bremen" and "The Scarletin Letter", plus a novel: Some Humans Don't Stink.

In the fanzine Farmerphile Issue No. 2, October 2005 were the first 450 words published of an unfinished story, "Who Stole Stonehenge?". People were invited to complete the story, based on this and a five page outline. Alas, no one took the challenge.
