A Curious Compendium of Strange Events, Volume One
by Phineas Strange
In 1876, it rained meat over Kentucky. Chunks of flesh fell from a clear sky while a woman watched from her yard. No one has ever explained it.
In 1900, three experienced lighthouse keepers vanished from Flannan Isles. The light was still burning. Breakfast was on the table. They were simply gone.
These are not legends. These are documented, verified, and completely unexplained.
A Curious Compendium of Strange Events collects the true stories that history recorded but never bothered to explain. Drawn from newspapers, eyewitness accounts, court records, and official investigations, each chapter drops you into a real moment where reality stopped making sense.
Inside Volume One's 50 chapters you'll find five Navy bombers that disappeared on a clear day with no wreckage ever found, two green-skinned children who appeared in a Suffolk field speaking no known language, an entire Inuit village that vanished overnight leaving food on the table and graves dug open, a man who published a detailed novel about the Titanic — fourteen years before it sank, and a Kentucky town terrorized by something in the night that left witnesses, police reports, and no answers.
Fast chapters. Real sources. 50 true stories that will make you question everything you think you know about the world. No folklore, no embellishment — just reality being genuinely, unsettlingly weird.
A Curious Compendium of Strange Events, Volume One is the first in an ongoing four-volume series. Once you start asking questions, it's hard to stop.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
