Description

*Featured on The New York Times' Summer Reading List 2020* Rediscover the classic and come face-to-face with a creature 'born of neither god nor man'. First published in 1897, Richard Marsh's classic work of gothic horror, The Beetle, opens with Robert Holt, an out-of-work clerk seeking shelter in an abandoned house. He comes face to face with a fantastical creature with supernatural and hypnotic powers: a creature who can transform at will between its human and beetle forms and who wrecks havoc when he preys on young middle-class Britons. 'Marsh creates an eerie atmosphere by keeping his story's supernaturalism tantalizingly ambiguous.' — Publishers Weekly 'The Beetle is a fine period piece, as well as an entertaining mystery that has withstood the test of time.' — New York Journal of Books
