AI-generated narration of the LinkLens-written story only.
Blood rain and falling frogs share space with mysterious disappearances in Charles Fort’s Book of the Damned. As Joshua Blu Buhs recounts in The Public Domain Review, Fort was fascinated by reports of events that resisted easy explanation, including baffling objects in the sky. One reviewer joked that four out of five readers would go insane. The joke hints at what makes the book unsettling: its strange reports arrive as a collection rather than a single puzzle to solve.
Buhs describes Fort as a collector from childhood, a trait he carried into adulthood alongside skepticism toward authority. That combination makes his interest in anomalies more understandable, even if the reports remain unresolved. Buhs also says philosophical monism informed Fort’s research, but how did that idea affect which accounts Fort gathered?
