G. Ranger (Gwendolyn Ranger) Wormser

G. Ranger Wormser, short for Gwendolyn Ranger Wormser, was an American writer born in 1893 and died in 1953. She is best known for The Scarecrow, and Other Stories, a collection first published in 1918, which established her reputation as a writer of strange and unsettling supernatural fiction.

Although biographical details about her are scarce, her surviving work shows a clear taste for uncanny situations, emotional pressure, and quiet dread rather than shock alone. Modern reprints and audiobook editions have helped bring her stories back to readers who enjoy overlooked weird fiction from the early 1900s.

Because so little reliable personal information is widely available, her reputation rests mostly on the stories themselves. That air of mystery has only added to her appeal, making her an intriguing figure for listeners interested in forgotten voices in classic horror.
