The Book of The Damned；New Lands；Lo!；Wild Talents；Index
Did beings from outer space visit earth in the past . . . are the various objects seen in the sky (flying saucers, in modern terminology) evidences of their visits? What is the explanation of falls of frogs, falls of fishes, falls of seashells, which have been recorded from time to time? Are they explainable in terms of selective tornadoes, or are they evidences of a planetary mechanism that we do not know?
How can we account for all the inexplicable astronomical observations that have been made in the past: lights on the moon in the crater Plato, extension of lunar rays. bodies between Mercury and the Sun, appearances seen leaving the planet Mars?
How can we answer reports of strange animals. disappearances of men from open sight, curious structures in the snow, talents like teleportation and telekinesis?
These are the "damned," by which the late Charles Fort meant all the wide range of mysteries that are ignored by orthodox science or explained away improperly.
Charles Fort worked full time for twenty-seven years at the British Museum and the New York Public Library researching scientific journals, old periodicals, newspapers, and manuscript accounts to gather material on phenomena from the borderlands between science and fantasy. His researches appeared in four books, The Book of the Damned, New Lands. Lo!. and Wild Talents.
In these four volumes Fort gathered together, organized and commented on a wild host of phenomena: flying saucers seen in the sky before the invention of aircraft, flying wheels, strange noises in the sky; correlations between volcanic activity and atmospheric phenomena; falls of red snow; falls of frogs. fishes, worms, shells, jellies; finding of "thunderbolts"; discrepancies in the schedules of comets, sightings on Mars and the moon; infra-Mercurian planets; inexplicable foot-prints in snowfields; flat earth phenomena, disruptions of gravity; poltergeist phenomena; stigmata; surviving fossil animals; the Jersey devil; Kaspar Hauser; spontaneous combustion; and similar weird effects. All this mass of data Fort described in what is at times one of the most brilliant styles of his day.
Charles Fort himself never really explained his phenomena, beyond making vague hints of an organic universe and neo-Hegelianism, yet through the years his following has grown. At first his work was picked up by literary men who admired his gifts greatly, men like Theodore Dreiser, Booth Tarkington, Clarence Darrow, Havelock Ellis, and Oliver Wendell Holmes. Then it influenced the development of science fiction, offering what are called "Fortean themes." Today it is of triple value, as the great predecessor to all extraterrestrial speculations, far superior in quality to its successors. as a codified source for a multitude of phenomena not readily findable elsewhere, and as a stimulating, bewildering, intoxicating, intellectual tour de force, brilliantly expressed, some-times convincing.
Complete reprinting of The Book of the Damned (1919), New Lands (1923), Lo! (1931), Wild Talents (1932). New introduction by Damon Knight. Index to all four volumes.
