PHENOMENA has arrived.

Mania Entertainment, the parent company which owns CINESCAPE magazine, has just launched a brand new sister magazine and website devoted to the exploration of the unexplained. PHENOMENA magazine presents all the news from the strange and unusual, whether it's breaking scientific discoveries, alternative medicine, the expansion of human consciousness or perplexing earth mysteries, all in a high quality, full-color glossy presentation. The first issue of PHENOMENA is now on sale and available at all major newsstands in North American and the United Kingdom.

The founder of PHENOMENA is Jeff Sagansky, former president of CBS Entertainment and, more recently, former CEO of PAX TV. "This content has been a passion of mine for some time, and PHENOMENA presents a forum to let readers in on the latest research and speculation from writers all over the world," Sagansky explains. "At their best, PHENOMENA stories are both surprising and thought-provoking. There's nothing else like this in the marketplace."

The Editor-In-Chief Simon Cox of PHENOMENA is Simon Cox, known for his work on the CD-ROM amagzine Duat. ""We promise to be at the cutting edge of research all the way," Cox adds.

The glossy, bi-monthly magazine's debut issue features a wide variety of subject matter. Articles investigating near-death experiences, Area 51, ghost recordings, altered states of consciousness, the Great Pyramid at Giza and alien abductions are included as well as the launch of regular sections covering a variety of paranormal and scientific discovery. Among the writers featured in the first issue are Robin Crookshank-Hilton, Alan Alford, Linda Moulton-Howe, Dr. Paula Baillie-Hamilton, Dr. Sam Parnia and Whitley Strieber, novelist of COMMUNION. Book, film, TV and radio reviews of PHENOMENA-related subject matter will also be featured.

Also launching in conjunction with the magazine is the PHENOMENA website located at www.phenomenamagazine.com. Hired to serve as the site's News Editor is Greg Taylor, creator of The Daily Grail website which will now provide exclusive news daily for PHENOMENA readers. Taylor has already populated the site with numerous news stories and will continue to be at the vanguard of breaking news items from this genre. Message boards are also a vital part of the PHENOMENA experience and all are welcome to join the discussions.

On behalf of the creative team that brings you CINESCAPE, please welcome the newest members to the Mania family, and then take a look at www.phenomenamagazine.com online or pick it up at a newsstand today!
