Features

32 The Return of Gothic Romance (cover story)
Guillermo del Toro described his recent film Crimson Peak as a "classic Gothic Romance", a genre that has been consigned to oblivion for nearly four decades.

AMANDA REES sets off into the great Celtic desert in search of ancient racial survivals, mysterious megaliths, fairy folklore and one of the oddest byways of evolutionary science.

PAUL KOUDOUNARIS travels to the Indonesian island of Sulawesi to meet the mummies of Tana Toraja and join a ritual celebrating the enduring bonds that link the living and the dead.
