Features
32 A Short History of Dog-Headed Men (Cover Story)
Matt Salusbury traces the perplexing presence of the cynocophali - or dog-headed men - from 4,000-year-old Libyan rock art to mediaeval maps, and from canine saints to modern tales of alien contact. Why have these strange half-human creatures enjoyed such a long life, and what could they possibly be?
42 Wired For God? Part One
In the first of two articles, Charles Foster traverses the worlds of religion and science to ask what we should make of 'spiritual experiences'.
48 Crytoscatology
Robert Guffey explores the hidden links between Charles Fort and Andre Breton, and argues that their work at the margins of consensus reality was united by a subversive, synchronistic and surrealist practice that continues to resonate to this day.
