'These stories have all had their origins in dreams... Terrifying
enough to the dreamer... I hope that some readers will experience
an agreeable shudder or two in the reading of them.' A malignant
entity answers the call of an ancient curse on the coast of
Brittany; a traveller's curiosity delivers him to an abominable
Hallowe'en ritual; the curious new owner of a haunted mansion
discovers something far worse than ghosts in the night. Randalls
Round has long been revered by devotees of the weird tale. First
published in 1929, its stories of ritualistic folk horror and M. R.
James-inspired accounts of ancient forces terrorising humanity are
thoroughly deserving of wider recognition. This collection includes
a new introduction exploring Eleanor Scott's impact on weird and
folk horror fiction, and two chilling stories by N. Dennett -
speculated to be another of the author's pseudonyms
