Book Description
"Time travel, UFOs, mysterious planets, stigmata, rock-throwing poltergeists, huge footprints, bizarre rains of fish and frogs-nearly a century after Charles Fort's Book of the Damned was originally published, the strange phenomenon presented in this book remains largely unexplained by modern science. Through painstaking research and a witty, sarcastic style, Fort captures the imagination while exposing the flaws of popular scientific explanations. Virtually all of his material was compiled and documented from reports published in reputable journals, newspapers and periodicals because he was an avid collector. Charles Fort was somewhat of a recluse who spent most of his spare time researching these strange events and collected these reports from publications sent to him from around the globe. This was the first of a series of books he created on unusual and unexplained events and to this day it remains the most popular. If you agree that truth is often stranger than fiction, then this book is for you"--Taken from Good Reads website.

Book Description
Devils may seek to corrupt your faith and mind, and demons certainly look to twist your body and destroy your home. But the fiends known as daemons seek something altogether more fundamental from mortals -- they seek life itself! Evil without the distraction of binding law or capricious chaos, they look to the world with hungry eyes for fresh souls to consume. Horseman of the Apocalypse continues the Book of the Damned series by taking a detailed look at the daemons -- ushers of catastrophe and harbingers of disaster. Personifying the worst ways a person can die, daemons constitute the third arm of major fiendish races, hailing from the nightmare realm of Abaddon, where they are led by four legendary figures- the so-called Horsemen of the Apocalypse!
