Wild Talents captures Charles Fort at his finest, most
thought-provoking, and is considered his wittiest work. Containing
accounts of--among numerous other bizarre topics--strange
coincidences, vampires, werewolves, talking dogs, poltergeist
activity, teleportation, witchcraft, vanishing people, spontaneous
human combustion, and the escapades of the 'mad bats of Trinidad.'
This is essential reading for those who want to learn about the
early years of research into the myriad mysteries of this world and
beyond. CHARLES HOY FORT (1874-1932), life-long naturalist and
independent journalist, wrote ten novels, though only one, The
Outcast Manufacturers (1906), was published in the U.S. - critics
said it was ahead of its time, but it was commercially
unsuccessful. His most recognized work, The Book of the Damned
(1919), referred to "damned data" that Fort collected, phenomena
for which science could not account and was thus rejected or
ignored. Upon his death in 1932, more than 60,000 notes were
donated to The New York Public Library.
