Thu, 24 Jun 2004 12:13:32 +0300

The Beetle: A Mystery is a horror novel by the British writer Richard Marsh, in which a polymorphous Ancient Egyptian entity seeks revenge on a British Member of Parliament. The story is told from four points of view, which generally flow from each other with limited scene repetition. In order, the four narrators are Robert Holt, Sydney Atherton, Marjorie Lindon, and Augustus Champnell. The story is written down as elaborate testimonies gathered by Champnell, who is a detective and who, despite only appearing during his own narration, provides the context of the antagonists' motives and the wrap-up of how the rest of the cast fared after the adventure. The events described are insinuated to be based on fact and several names used in the novel are supposedly altered to protect the identities of those involved.

The Beetle

Thu, 26 Nov 2015 17:41:38 +0200

The thrilling classic tale of a strange and sinister creature that stalks its prey mercilessly and changes shape at will
From the mysterious depths of Egypt comes a creature "born neither of God nor man." This shape-shifting being has made its way to London seeking revenge for the crimes that have been committed against the order of its ancient religion—and the primary target of this merciless and relentless terror is politician Paul Lessingham. As panic spreads throughout the city, it falls to Paul and his friends to stop the beast once and for all.

Published the same year as the horror classic Dracula, The Beetle originally outsold Bram Stoker's famous book. Richard Marsh's story is a dark mirror of England at the end of the century, a tale of Victorian horror and mystery with a monster as dreadful and elusive as any in literature.
