Sinopse
Características

Here we have a book unique in the annals of horror literature. This is a book where the stories are penned, mostly, by fortean researchers. For those who are unfamiliar with the term, fortean refers to theworks of Charles Hoy Fort (August 6, 1874 - May 3, 1932). Fort was anAmerican writer and researcher into strange phenomena. Fort collectednewspaper reports of sightings of strange creatures, weird light phenomena,falls of fish and other creatures, and poltergeist outbreaks to name but afew. Fort realized that mainstream science was acting somewhat like afundamentalist religion and that any anomalous data that did not fit into thecurrent scientific paradigm was simply swept under the carpet. Fort calledthis damned data. He published his findings in four books: The Book ofthe Damned (1919), New Lands (1923), Lo! (1932) and Wild Talents(1932), all of which are still in print today. Fort has influenced modern research with magazines like Fortean Times, which has been recording weird happenings since 1973, and the Centre for Fortean Zoology, the worlds only full time mystery animal investigation organization. The publishing wing of the latter is responsible for this book.
