Features
30 50 Shades of Grey (Cover Story)
Peter Brookesmith looks back at the hidden history of jolly - and not so jolly - rogers with the alien sex pirates. Plus, unusual activities among the hybrids and hypnotists.
38 Crowley's Art From The Abbey
Jack Sargeant reports on a new exhibition that puts the Great Beast's Sicilian painting in the spotlight and fills in the gaps in our knowledge of his magical career.
42 Ghost Mobs
Roger Clarke considers the Victorian phenomenon of ghost-hunting flashmobs. What do these public expressions of supernatural interest tell us about the relationship between ghosts and the British class system?
46 Robert E Howard: The Lost Celt
The first ever Conan story was published 80 years ago, in December 1932, and the mighty barbarian hero has maintained his hold on the popular imagination ever since. Angeline B Adams and Remco Van Straten explore his creator's Texan background and reveal how a changing world of frontier medicine, oil booms and tall tales gave birth to the genre of Sword and Sorcery.
