Just been taking a look at my issue, haven't read the Virginia Woolf article but did read the would-be cult leader one, where he and his family were slaughtered. All I can say is "bloody hell", what an unpleasant story, well written but unnerving that level of horrendous violence could take place in a supposedly civilised city street.
Re: Letters, what was the Runcorn paper thing about? In the illustration, the Rs are the right way around! In IHTM, the account of the lady who was left alone with her young son for months on end reminded me of one of the saddest stories I ever read on this board, from a young mother who was left alone and terrified in her house with her little girl every night and was convinced she was being haunted. She never got back to us, but that story, I dunno, my heart went out to her. Hope she had the happy ending this IHTM tale had.
