One of the most beloved comedians of his time, Jackie Gleason was less known for his supernatural obsessions. Jackie Gleason: Library of the Paranormal reveals selections from the comedy legend’s remarkable trove of 3,000+ publications and ephemera on subjects such as ESP, aliens, and life after death, as well as clippings carefully collected by Gleason himself. The book also gathers vintage press stories and illuminating interviews where the comic discusses parapsychology and other unconventional interests.
Gleason’s archive contains the writings of Charles Fort, twentieth-century cult author and fervid chronicler of the bizarre and mysterious. (Fort inspired such devotion that noted writers, including Theodore Dreiser and Dorothy Parker, formed the Fortean Society to celebrate his work.) Charles Fort: Research is the first book to delve into the writings, correspondence, and source materials for his investigations into inexplicable anomalies such as frogs falling from the sky and sea monsters inhabiting our oceans.
