Features

30 HR Giger's Reel Monster (cover story)
One eyewitness description forever fixed the popular image of the Chupacabra - the blood-sucking monster that stalked Puerto Rico in the 1990s. But, argues Benjamin Radford, it's a description that bears an uncanny similarity to a 1995 movie monster created by none other than cult artist HR Giger... could they be one and the same?

38 Naked Quakers
Justin Meggitt looks back at the strange world of the early Quakers, with their apocalyptic obsessions and penchant for disrobing in public.

44 Strange Stories from a World of Wonder
In the first of a two-part article, Matt Salusbury relives the vanished days of his childhood, when the weekly arrival of a magazine called World of Wonder would lift him out of the realm of humdrum reality and help set him on the royal road to forteana.
