32 Looking For Laylah (cover story)
The late Dean Ballinger went in search of one of Aleister Crowley's 'scarlet women', the Australian violinist Leila Waddell, an accomplished musician who survived her years with the Wickedest Man in the World with sanity and talent intact.

38 Just Say No...
50 years ago, the Central Office of Information released the Charley Says films in which a ginger cat speaking in incomprehensible miaows warned children against strangers, matches, and other everyday perils. Edward Parnell remembers the terrors unleashed by 1970s Public Information Films.

42 The Chicago Mothman, Part Two
In 2011, reports started to come in from the American Midwest about a weird winged entity. There were plenty of terrified witnesses, but was it all the work of a serial hoaxer? Tea Krulos concludes his look at the Chicago Mothman investigation.
