"The Eyes of Doom"
The Blue Magazine published "The Eyes of Doom" in its May 1920 issue. It is the first installment in Ella M. Scrymsour's six-part Shiela Crerar series and establishes Shiela's origin. After her guardian uncle's sudden death leaves her penniless, Shiela Crerar leases out the family estate and moves to London, where loneliness sharpens her latent psychic sight. A mysterious stranger urges her to put her gift to use, and she advertises her services as a psychic investigator. Her first client, Lady Kildrummie, hires her to solve the "Kildrummie Weird" — a haunting of disembodied, malevolent eyes that appears every twenty-three years and has already driven two family members to suicide, and now torments Lady Kildrummie's surviving son, Duncan. Night after night, the spectral eyes drag Shiela to a locked tower and leave her temporarily blinded, until she finally manages to perceive what they are trying to communicate: a centuries-old atrocity in which twenty-three people were blinded, murdered, and buried without a Christian rite. Shiela leads the household in exhuming and properly reburying the remains, laying the haunting to rest and restoring Duncan's health. On her way home, Lady Kildrummie's nephew, Stavordale Hartland, proposes marriage; Shiela gently declines, unwilling to give up her newfound calling, though he resolves to wait for her. "The Werewolf of Rannoch" The Blue Magazine published "The Werewolf of Rannoch" in its September 1920 issue. It is the fifth installment in the Shiela Crerar series. A Highland minister summons Shiela to the village of Dhuvhair, where a savage creature has been killing livestock and people alike, its throat-torn victims fueling rumors of a werewolf. Boarding with Dr. Chisholm, his sister Mary, and Mary's suitor, a Danish physician named Olaf Sylmak, Shiela investigates repeated sightings of a shaggy, red-eyed beast. Distrustful of the taciturn Sylmak, she becomes convinced he is the werewolf, tracking the creature to a hidden cave lair and confronting it directly in her bedroom, where it briefly disguises itself as a wounded kitten before she wounds it with a pistol shot — only to find Sylmak nursing a grazed hand moments later. Returning to spy on the cave, Shiela witnesses a hooded sorcerer performing a dark ritual, including a child sacrifice and a curse worked against her and Mary through clay effigies. She shoots the sorcerer, banishing both him and the werewolf — and returns home to learn that Dr. Chisholm has been found shot dead, his face frozen in a fanged snarl. Sylmak reveals he had long suspected his partner was the killer, leaving Shiela to reckon with having wrongly suspected an innocent man.
