Features
28 Egyptian Gothic (cover story)
As Tutankhamun returns to London in a major new exhibition, Maria J Perez Cuervo taces the West's fascination with Ancient Egypt and the emergence of an exotic fantasy blending Empire and eroticism, dark mysteries and dangerous magic.
38 It was 100 Years Ago...
Ulrich Magin marks the centenary of The Book of the Damned with a look back at the publication, critical reception and literary influence of Charles Fort's unprecendented meditation on the world of strange phenomena.
44 The Luck of the Draw
The UK's National Lottery is a quarter of a century old this month. Ted Harrison looks at some of the statistical anomalies, odd coincidences and claims of psychic foreknowledge that have accompanied 25 years of Camelot's random balls.
