Plumb
the mysteries of the mega-beaver, follow worldwide cataclysms from fiery
floods to giant sinkholes, meet the Enema Bandit, and mourn the French
comedian who choked to death on a custard pie thrown in his face - with
the world's foremost experts on the abnormal, the editors of the British
cult classic Fortean Times. Freakish, fantastic, marvelous and mysterious,
our world is a tireless source of wonder. And no one knows more about its
most peculiar moments than the editors of the British Fortean Times.
A cult classic for over 20 years, Fortean Times is a dizzying romp
through the most extraordinary events of our day, from UFOs and poltergeists
to natural wonders, zany coincidences, and just plain head-scratching incidents
- like the chef who was stabbed through the heart with uncooked spaghetti
strands when his restaurant was hit by 150-mph winds.
Strange Days #1 shows exactly how weird the world was last year and has the evidence to back it up: real news clips of the most recent odd phenomena, curiosities, prodigies, and portents gathered by hundreds of stringers in 35 countries around the globe. Plus it also presents ground-breaking research, nailing down the science behind everything from crying Virgin Mary statues to reports of falling goo in Oakville, Washington. More than just a catalog of the bizarre and bewildering, this is the diary of a mad planet.
