'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.

Eleanor Scott was a pseudonym used by Helen Magdalen Leys (1892-1965), an Oxford-based teacher and author of a handful of novels and short stories. Her debut novel War Among Ladies was published in 1928, followed in 1929 by Randalls Round and the first of two detective novels published under the pseudonym P. R. Shore.
