167. Randalls Round: Nine Nightmares by Eleanor Scott – Ed. Aaron Worth

This was another winner in the British Library Tales of the Weird series. There’s a helpful essay about the author and I liked all of the stories. The ones at the end which were published under the name “N. Dennett,” who is thought to be Eleanor Scott, which is also a pseudonym, were the creepiest, but all the stories had their own levels of creepery and subtle dread. There’s also an introduction by the author herself, mentioning her story “The Room” was published in Cornhill Magazine, which should be a mark of awesomeness based on the amusing name alone. I mean, it was like a serious magazine, but Cornhill.
