Rains of frogs, stones falling from clear skies, lights no astronomer could explain: Charles Fort collected every fact that science had swept under the rug. Witty, skeptical, and gleefully strange, he assembles the damned data that refuse to fit any theory. A founding text for lovers of the unexplained.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
