	The Book of the Damned (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
		The Book of the Damned was the first iconoclastic book written by Charles Hoy Fort and was first published in 1919.
		As the original edition is rare, and, as the book contains many errors, I am making this hypertext edition available with some of my notes.
		This work is not completed, and I am still seeking out many more of Fort's sources; but, I hope that others may find this a helpful and ready copy for their own reference use.

	The Book of the Damned - Climate Zone Market (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
		This book is a celebration of humor as well as scepticism, the humor part being the one which most people have greatly misunderstood about C.Fort.
		The "Book of the damned" is a grand example of a brave mind.
		This book, one of four he published before passing away in 1932, exploits Fort's research into reports of peculiar things in the sky or fallen from the sky to challenge the authority of establishment science.

		Mostly, the book spins the complex yarn of Akasha's eerie, brooding brood and her nemeses, the terrifying sisters Maharet and Mekare.
		This is essentially Lestat's book, but he is not really the focus of the tale; while he narrates his own role in events, much of the book is written in the third person.
		Still, it is an essential book for Anne Rice fans, as it offers up loads of information about the vampires who roam the world of her creation and explains the very origins of vampirism itself.

		This book is an assemblage of data of external relations of this earth.
		Meteorites, data of which were once damned, have been admitted, but the common impression of them is only a retreat of attempted exclusion: that only two kinds of substance fall from the sky: metallic and stony: that the metallic objects are of iron and nickel --

	The Book of the Damned (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
		Book Description: From Booknews: A reprint of a work originally published in 1919, which challenges what its author sees as "dogmatic" science by cataloguing examples of phenomena seemingly unexplainable in scientific terms.
		Fort (1874-1923) asserts that scientists often argue according to their own beliefs rather than the rules of evidence and ignore, discredit, or suppress facts that conflict with their preferred theories.
		He wrote several books on his philosophy and is also noteworthy for having coined the word promoted early theories of the universe as an organism, and systematically studied reported sightings of UFOs.

	The Book of the Damned (Secret Books of Paradys)
		The Book of the Damned is perhaps the best of Tanith Lee's Books of Paradyse series, if only for the presence of the second novella, "Malice in Saffron".
		Her writing style is like that, it seems very impersonal, and sometimes I get lost in her descriptions and I can't figure out exactly what she means by this or that.
		First in the Paradys Tetralogy, "The Book of the Damned" is a three-part exploration into the dark, decadent, and thoroughly bizarre (but completely enjoyable) world of Paradys, something of an alternate-world Paris steeped in sorcery and darkness since its earliest days.

		We've been damned by corpses and skeletons and mummies, which twitch and totter with pseudo-life derived from conveniences.
		I'd like to know what strange, damned, excommunicated things have been sent to museums by persons who have felt convinced that they had seen what they may have seen, strongly enough to risk ridicule, to make up bundles, go to express offices, and write letters.
		The important point is that there was no sign of boring: that this instrument was in a lump of coal that had closed around it so that its presence was no suspected, until the lump of coal was broken.

	The Book of the Damned Chapter XIII
		Constantly we feel a merging away into infinitude; but that this book shall approximate to form, or that our data shall approximate to organization, or that we shall approximate to intelligibility, we have to call ourselves back constantly from wandering off into infinitude.
		In Timb's Year Book, 1842-275, it is said that, at Derby, the fishes had fallen in enormous numbers; from half an inch to two inches long, and some considerably larger.
		This datum, profoundly of what we used to call the "damned," or before we could no longer accept judgment, or cut and dried condemnation by infants, turtles, and lambs, was copied--but without comment--in the Scientific American, 71-371.

		The Book of the Damned was my first encounter with the writing of Tanith Lee (I've since read four other novels by her, including the other three Secret Books of Paradys, which are all very good), and a strange first encounter it was.
		It flows with a dreamlike quality and is the best of the three novellas included in the Book of the Damned.
		This book, made up of three (relatively) short novellas, is only for those who like sudden, unexplained and disorienting events that are chained together for no apparent reason.

		Each book was meant to be read from first to last page, no skipping, because the facts exposed, though apparently whimsical and haphazard, really follow a careful order of presentation.
		From page 80 in Fort's "The Book Of The Damned" published in 1919: "Dr. Hahn said he had found fossils in meteorites." Fred Hoyle, the British astronomer, published in his 1984 book "The Intelligent Universe," photographs of fossils in a meteorite.

	INQUIRING-MINES.COM: Book of the Damned - Chapter 11 of 28
		Because it is hopeless to try to shake off an excommunication only by saying that we're damned by fler things than ourselves; and that the damned are those who admit they're of the damned.
		There's not a notion in this book that has a more frightful, or ridiculous, mien than had the notion of human footprints in rocks, when that now respectabilized ruffian, or clown, was first heard from.
		It seems bewildering to one whose interests are not scientific that such rows should be raised over such trifles: but the feeling of a systematist toward such an intruder is just about what anyone's would be if a tramp from the street should come in, sit at one's dinner table, and say he belonged there.

		But that all "things," though only projections, are projections that are striving to break away from the underlying that denies them identity of their own.
		In this book, I assemble some of the data that I think are of the falsely and arbitrarily excluded.
		So, then, in general metaphysical terms, our expression is that, like a purgatory, all that is commonly called "existence," which we call Intermediateness, is quasi-existence, neither real nor unreal, but expression of attempt to become real, or to generate for or recruit a real existence.

		My most treasured book is a (bad) biography of another racing person who was involved in the Resistance Robert Benoist, the great Delage champion of the 1920s.
		The secret of the book was in the knowledge that Benoist, Labric, Veyron and Wimille were not just a bunch of friends but had been the four drivers of the Bugatti factory team at Le Mans in 1939.
		When I mentioned I had this book to a collector I know, he tried very hard not to sound as though he was having a cardiac arrest but clearly he was rather short of breath.

	Queen of the Damned Guest Book
		However, US star Aaliyah spent a lot of time in the city's not-so-wild west when filming Queen Of The Damned last year, in which she played the lead role of vampire queen Akasha.
		So after spending months here filming Queen Of The Damned, work on her third, self-titled, album (already delayed after 1996's One In A Million) had to go on hold for her acting career – at least until her band of up-and-coming producers were flown out for two months.
		Following her impressive debut, Aaliyah was signed to star in three more films for the Studio: "Queen of the Damned" and the second and third installments of "The Matrix" franchise.

		"The Book of the Damned" is a look at Paradys at three different times in its history, at the people who live in that dark and fascinating city--and a story well worth the reading.
		This books is comprised of three novellas that are linked only by setting, a city called Paradys that switches era and culture from story to story.
		The 1st novella "Stained with Crimson" was disjointed and vague with uncompelling characterizations.

		There is even one book that I remember as being pivotal to this swing in my pre-pubescent psyche and that is the collected volume of the 'Dragonlance Chronicles'.
		The history that Gemmell has developed in his previous books is mentioned often, but in a way that isn't intimidating and which serves to draw you in further, increasing your involvement with the setting.
		Every moment I spent reading this book was a joy, opening it is like having an IV drip of pure fantasy goodness connected to your brain.

		And I work damned hard to avoid accidents in my writing — it's my own obsession — and when I screw up a sentence's rhythm, it's for a reason, and I burrow deep with subtext, foreshadowing (across the entire series) and the old rule of 'show don't tell.' Could that be it?
		Answer: the title was inspired by Napoleon's Book of the Fallen; although that one simply lists the names of the fallen soldiers from his campaigns.
		As a reader I'd often throw the damned book across the room, knowing I'd have to wait a year or six before I found out what happened (I'd go get it again, of course).

	The Popkorn Junkie :: Queen of the Damned
		What a lot of people may not know is that "Queen of the Damned" was originally intended to go directly to video stores, completely skipping the theatre circuits.
		From what I have read, the reason for the direct to video decision is that the producers didn't feel the movie had the potential to make a heavy impact at the box office.
		Aaliyah might have one day made a good actress, but if this film is any indication of the pentacle of her acting ability--she should be remembered for her music.

		This book is not only quite readable, its focus, clearly different from the "same old same old" that we get in the States, made that long war much easier to understand.
		As the sub title indicates this book is mainly the war as seen though British eyes but after reading the book I think it's without any particular bias.
		It's too bad this book is listed as out of print but it's worth the effort to hunt it down.
