Features
36 In Search of the Man-Monkey (Cover Story)
It's big, it's hariy, and for more than a century it has shown a distinct fondness for lurking near bridges and scaring the life out of people. It's known as the Man-Monkey and has become something of an obsession for Nick Redfern
42 The Naked Truth
It was 20 years ago today, we often hear, that Sgt Pepper taught the band to play. But it was 50 years ago that an altogether more hip cultural artefact than any Beatles LP was launched upon the world, when William Burrough's notorious novel Naked Lunch was published in Paris. Phil Baker celebrates a life and career spent on the edge.
48 Hoax! Part 2
In the second part of their examination of the psychology of hoaxing, Peter Brookesmith and Rob Irving examine everything from fairy photos to fake Holocaust survivors, and ask what happens when myth becomes reality.
