Canal, and Leonora

Dive into the haunting world of Everil Worrell, one of the pioneering female voices in weird fiction during the early days of Weird Tales magazine. The year 1927 was particularly significant for Worrell, as she graced both the January and December issues with her chilling undead tales, Leonora and The Canal. Notably, The Canal was cherished by none other than H. P. Lovecraft, who frequently named it among his top six stories published in Weird Tales. This gripping narrative weaves a striking atmosphere of love and dread that will linger long after the last word, while Leonora perfectly complements it, exploring the irresistible allure of a mysterious entity from beyond.
