FIRST NEW BOOK IN FATE MAGAZINE'S "STRANGE" SERIES IN FOUR DECADES!"My mother used to read me FATE. I was fascinated." -Stephen KingIn 1965 FATE released the first book in its bestselling "Strange" series, reprinting some of the publication's most acclaimed reports of paranormal phenomena. Over the next ten years, the "Strange" books sold over 6,000,000 copies worldwide. Each volume in the series was filled with personal accounts and researched reports drawn from FATE's pages, covering a wide array of unexplained phenomena: UFOs, hauntings, psychic experiences, reincarnation, magic, precognitive dreams, telepathy, and many more examples of the uncanny and inexplicable. When the series was reprinted in 2014, contemporary readers were as thrilled as they had been in the 1960s, describing them at online stores in glowing terms: "A book worth reading. I look forward to reading the other books in this series.""FATE always comes through.""Well written, short articles on a variety of paranormal events, many of which were unfamiliar to me. Interesting, unfamiliar and competently edited.""Good stuff. Reminds us that stories like this have been happening for years. Not just a modern invention. Worth a read.""Very good read. 5 stars."Encouraged by the success of these reprints, the editors of FATE decided the time was ripe for a brand new entry in the "Strange" series.
