In Search Of: Fortean Times January 2010, Issue #257, Dracula

My lovely and talented spouse Imp of the Perverse used 2 articles in The Fortean Times (January 2010, Issue #257) as jumping off points for a paper she wrote a year or so ago. She’s now having to write a paper critiquing her prior work, and so the issue has become necessary again, but we can’t find it - it’s the only missing issue from my pile of FTs. I’ve contacted FT and their e-distributor, but no back issues are available. I’ve looked on e-bay with no luck. I’d love to hear from anyone with a copy or a good lead on a copy of this issue. A loan, a xerox, a digitized version - anything - would be appreciated. We’d be happy to pay copying / scanning / shipping costs, obviously.

Thanks for any help.

Just checked my back issues, but no joy, I’m afraid. Have you tried the mag;s website? They have an archive, but I’m not sure how far back it goes.

I may have it at home. I’ll check and post a yea or nay by 10PM central time.

BREAKING NEWS***

In accordance with Finagle’s Law, after literally weeks of looking for the thing, within hours of the initial posting, Imp had a sudden brainwave and found the missing issue in an unexpected place.

Thanks to my fellow Forteans for their efforts. I really appreciate it, as does Imp

OK, good, as in the end I couldn’t find that issue in my collection.
