The fifth volume of a unique collection of bizarre tales from a
master of the genre
Richard Marsh was the pseudonym of British born author Richard
Bernard Heldman (1857-1916). His most famous work of supernatural
fiction, The Beetle, was published in 1897, the same year as Bram
Stoker's tale of the vampire Count Dracula, and it is believed that
initially Marsh's book, which also features a bizarre and sinister
figure capable of 'shape shifting, ' was even more popular with
readers than Stoker's. Today Marsh's book is still widely regarded
as a classic of its genre. Although a prolific author who wrote in
a number of genres including adventure fiction under his real name,
Marsh is principally remembered as a writer of supernatural
thrillers and his output in this field was prodigious. Most
aficionados of the genre have heard of The Beetle, but this special
Leonaur collection of the author's excursions into the other
worldly and strange extends to six satisfyingly substantial volumes
containing many tales that will be unfamiliar to modern
readers.
This penultimate volume includes two novels, 'The Death Whistle'
and 'The Chase of the Ruby, ' and four short stories stories of the
strange and unusual.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each
title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our
hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their
spines and fabric head and tail bands.
