Features
36 The Old Ways: Folk Horror Revival (cover story)
Gail-Nina Anderson explores the roots and resonance of the Folk Horror Revival, and asks whether the explosion of interest in this subgenre represents a Romantic attempt to reconnect with our lost sense of strangeness or merely an exercise in cultural nostalgia.
44 Bloody Valentine
On 14 February 1945, 74-year-old agricultural worker Charles Walton was found pinned to the frozen slopers of Meon Hill by a pitchfork, his throat slashed. Cathi Unsworth re-opens the file on the unsolved Lower Quinton murder, whose echoes of witchcraft and ritual sacrifice still haunt the area today.
