The Book of the Damned (1919 book)

The Book of the Damned is a non-fiction book by American author Charles Fort, first published in 1919 by Boni and Liveright. It collects accounts of anomalous phenomena taken from a variety of sources by Fort, including reporting on strange falls (such as "black rains, red rains, strange substances, animal, vegetable and mineral") and inter-planetary objects, all of which constitute what Fort called "damned" data, facts he saw as disregarded by scientific accounting of the world.
