This book contains everything they don’t want you to know.
Charles Fort ’s work birthed the paranormal genre as we know it today. His research delves into strange occurrences sidelined by the scientific establishment of his time. UFOs. Cryptids. Bizarre weather phenomena. He writes with a passion for rescuing truths “damned” to obscurity and bringing them to light.
And yet he was also a bit of a quintessential American crank: hatching conspiracy theories, writing endless letters to long-suffering newspaper editors. Kevin Wetmore’s abridged edition of Fort’s most famous work considers its lasting contributions to pop culture in their totality: the creative and enlightening; the obtuse and obsessive.
