This quarterly exudes a delightful sense of humor and a healthy excitement for all things strange and wonderful. It carries on in the tradition of Charles Fort, an eccentric American writer who in the ’20s and ’30s produced four books of mysterious occurrences combined with whimsical cosmic philosophy. Highlighted by entertaining editorial commentary, FT features mind-boggling surveys of weird events culled from the newspapers of the world, in categories like rains of frogs, sea serpents, strange fires, religious miracles, out-of-place animals, ice meteors, phantom cats, etc. In addition, FT offers eccentric columnists, odd comic strips, and elegant shoestring design. Great fun to read, and a continuing testament to the strangeness of our world.
