28 The House That Haunted Itself to Death (Cover Story)
Roger Clarke goes in search of the real-life ghost story that inspired Henry James's classic The Turn of the Screw.

34 Hark! Who Knocks There, Children?
Angeline B Adams and Remco van Straten trace the journey of St Nicholas from third century Myra to the modern Netherlands - and to the centre of a contemporary Christmas controversy.

40 The Face of Fu Manchu
