"In my time I have seen men who have come to their death by
violence, but I have never seen such an extraordinary sight as he
presented. It was as if some savage thing, fastening upon him, had
torn him to pieces with tooth and nail. His flesh had been ripped
and rent so that not one recognisable feature was left. Indeed, it
might not have been a man we were looking upon, but some thing of
horror."
After a night of intemperate drinking and gambling with his
neighbour Edwin Lawrence, John Ferguson awakens in a cold sweat
from a horrible nightmare in which he seemed to see Lawrence being
torn to shreds by some vicious beast. But what is Ferguson's horror
when he wakes to find that a beautiful woman, covered in blood and
with no memory, has climbed through his window and that his vision
of Lawrence's death is all too true
Who is the killer? The list of suspects is long: Ferguson, the
lovely amnesiac, the dead man's dissolute brother. Or maybe the
truth is more terrible still: Was Lawrence slain by the
supernatural creature of Ferguson's dream - a bloodthirsty demon
capable of the most savage of murders?
One of eight novels published by the prolific Marsh at the
height of his popularity in 1900, "The Goddess: A Demon" retains
its ability to thrill and terrify. This new edition, the first in
over 75 years, features the unabridged text of the first edition
and includes a new introduction and notes by Minna Vuohelainen as
well as a wealth of contextual appendices and a reproduction of the
original cover.
