Attack of the Man-Monkey! -
What horror haunts the banks of the Shropshire canal?

This month we go looking for the Man-Monkey, a diabolical entity that's been haunting the banks of the Shropshire Union Canal for over a century. Over in Mexico a tall, flying 'Man-Bat' has been terrorising the populace. And, 50 years on from the publication of William Burroughs's notorious novel Naked Lunch, we celebrate the author's life and work and discuss his fascination with the irrational, the supernatural and the occult.

Also in this issue we continue our series on the psychology of hoaxing, are spooked by Malaysian tales of hopping ghosts, blanch at a photo of a rotting snake found in a sandwich, discover some mummified cats bricked up in chimneys, and are warned of the dangers of witchcraft by a cautionary comic about a mum who turns into a cat.
