Fourteen Short Stories of the Strange and Unusual Including 'The Devil's Leap', 'The Scarecrow', 'The Sun-Seeker', 'Spring', 'The Effigy' and 'The Wood of Living Trees'
Atmospheric and subtly disturbing nightmarish tales of a literary American author
G. Ranger Wormser (1893-1953) was the pen name of Gwendolyn Ranger Wormser, born in New York City, an author who has become highly regarded for her subtle, 'psychological' approach to the writing of supernatural, horror and weird fiction. Her work, which was at its most popular in the second decade of the 20th century, is noted for its modern sensibility and touches upon sexism, prejudice, and domestic abuse among other sociological themes through the lens of the macabre. Her literary dark fiction relied on atmospheric dread, introspection, and unease rather than on obvious and explicit horror. For decades, her talents remained in relative obscurity, though her best known tale,'The Scarecrow' has abided as a fine example of an understated and simmering disturbance as the subject of the title appears to possess unsettling sentience. This Leonaur collection of Ranger Wormser's shorter fiction includes fourteen nightmarish tales including,'The Scarecrow', 'Mutter Schwegel', with its mysterious, potentially supernatural forces,'Haunted', 'The Wood of Living Trees', a struggle between good and evil, and 'Devil's Leap' among others.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
