The Book of the Damned | Free Book
The Original Classic of Paranormal Exploration
The signature edition of Charles Fort's classic of paranormal
discovery--reset with a new index.
Welcome to a record of the damned. "By damned," wrote Charles Fort in 1919, "I mean the excluded. We shall have a procession of the data that Science has excluded."
Fort's record of the unknown was one of the first to expose us to visitors from space, monsters, poltergeists, and floating islands. Frogs fall from the sky. Mysterious airships take flight in an age before the airplane. People disappear, reappear, and spontaneously combust.
This stand-alone, handsome edition exposes today's readers to the core work of Fort's extraordinary career--in which he pushed us to ask: What is out there?

In The Press
"To me no one in the world has suggested the underlying depths and
mysteries and possibilities as has Fort. To me he is simply
stupendous." --Theodore Dreiser
"The
enfant terrible of science." --The New York Times
"The Book of the Damned whispered that
there was something very wrong with how we thought about the world.
Fort deliberately pushed his 'damned facts' on his readers, insisting
that science had constructed its convenienttheories only by ignoring
those facts that gave us trouble." --Jim Steinmeyer, author
