It's here! 
I've already read most of it: mainly poltergeists. Very interesting indeed. |

Any reactions to the cover?
We were a bit worried that it was too disturbing despite being a brilliant photo (it's not often we get Rankin to provide our cover shot though!)
We'd paricularly welcome any feedback from female forteans on this one, as it really was a tricky call to make...

Yes, that's what my other half said, with the same tone of withering sarcasm that I think I can detect there, and why I was worried
Although she did change her mind somewhat on seeing the finished cover, rather than just the image alone.
I suppose it is all about how you contextualise it, and I had hoped the cover lines helped to do that - pointing out that this was a paticularly violent polt case and so on... |

| I'm fairly sure Nuts magzine hasn't done a 'Haunted Honeys' issue yet so at least you're breaking new ground! |

Someone didn't like the cover of my FT this issue - it was ripped! Possibly by a poltergeist! Or the mail sorting system, whichever is more sinister.
Anyway, I thought I'd never heard of the Black Monk before but on reading the article it stirred a few memories - like the mickey-taking gloves in mid-air.
Really good letter about vampire kits which unfortunately we won't be able to discuss. Also like the IHTM about the mysterious football fan, seemingly mundane but the more you think about it... |

It's like one of those misery porn paperbacks. |
