Randalls Round

This was loathsome, devilish... Sounds came through the muffling hands over his ears -- a crunching, tearing sound, and then a horrible noise like an animal lapping... Sweat broke out on Heyling's back. It sounded like bones... He could not think, or move, or pray... '"Celui-La" and "The Twelve Apostles" are like discovering a pair of lost M.R. James stories."' Stories of suspense and terror, atmosphere and dread – inspired by a series of dark dreams and nightmares. If you enjoy M.R. James, then you’re sure to love Eleanor Scott’s brief foray into the dark side – chilling tales of suspense, antiquity and sacrifice; spine-tingling stories of possession, ancestry, and evil. After feverishly completing this one collection in 1929 and publishing it as Eleanor Scott, Helen Leys refused to ever again write horror. This collection of deliciously-crafted, ghoulish tales are some of the most sought-after by fans of the genre and include the superlative ‘Celui-là’, ‘At Simmel Acres Farm’ and ‘The Twelve Apostles’. Over 80 years have passed since their original publication and the passage of time has left their thrall undiminished; these historic, macabre tales unsettle the modern reader just as effectively as they did their predecessors. Randalls Round has not been available since that year – until now. Give your heart a workout. Scroll up, grab your copy – and enter a world of cold, dark, uncertainty and panic...
