26 The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp (cover story)
In the spooky swamps of South Carolina lurks one of America's most mysterious and menacing monsters: a seven-foot-tall reptillian terror with a taste for trashing motor vehicle. BENJAMIN RADFORD sets out in search of the elusive Lee County Lizard Man...
36 The Strangest Family in England
In an extract from his new book, Great British Eccentrics, SD TUCKER tells the story of the real-life Addams Family who wrote poems, hunted ghosts and tried to paint cows to fit in with the crockery.
48 Tragic Songs from the Grassy Knoll: A Musical History of the JFK Assassination
The assassination of President John F Kennedy in November 1963 sent shockwaves around the world, but its impact on popular music and recorded sound remains largely neglected. DAVID THRUSSELL assesses a forgotten legacy of discarded vinyl artefacts.
