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.

Industry Reviews

"A fine period piece, as well as an entertaining mystery that has withstood the test of time." - NY Journal of Books
"This will appeal to a wide range of readers. The universal ick factor of creepy crawlies additionally ensures that this crowdpleaser from the past will continue to strike fear in the hearts and minds of 21st-century readers." - Library Journal
"This series is a fun new way to encounter the spine-tinglers of yesteryear." - Booklist
"Ripe with melodrama and purple prose...Marsh creates an eerie atmosphere." - Publishers Weekly
