Richard Marsh (12 October 1857 – 9 August 1915) was the pseudonym of the English author born Richard Bernard Heldmann. A best-selling and prolific author of the late 19th century and the Edwardian period, Marsh is best known now for his supernatural thriller novel The Beetle, which was published the same year as Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897), and was initially even more popular.[1] The Beetle remained in print until 1960. Marsh produced nearly 80 volumes of fiction and numerous short stories, in genres including horror, crime, romance and humour. Many of these have been republished recently, beginning with The Beetle in 2004. Marsh's grandson Robert Aickman was a notable writer of short "strange stories".

"The Beetle" is a horror novel written and published by Richard Marsh in 1897. The story is somewhat disturbing: an ancient Egyptian spirit wants revenge on an influential English politician. The whole novel is written in a very complex way, in fact, the story is told from four different points of view. The narrators are 4 distinct characters: Robert Holt, Sydney Atherton, Marjorie Lindon and Augustus Champnell. Thus, while Detective Champnell collects testimony and notes clues, Holt, an ex-businessman with financial problems, while looking for a new job, remains mesmerized by a strange and very disturbing beetle. A compelling, disturbing and mysterious work, full of twists.
