Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. 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". Richard Bernard Heldmann was born on 12 October 1857, in North London, to lace merchant Joseph Heldmann (1827-96) and Emma Marsh (1830-1911), a lace-manufacturer's daughter. Heldmann began publishing fiction during 1880, in the form of boys' school and adventure stories for magazine publications. The most important of these was Union Jack, a quality boys' weekly magazine associated with authors G. A. Henty (1832-1902) and W.H.G. Kingston (1814-80). Henty promoted the young Heldmann to the position of co-editor in October 1882, but Heldmann's association with the publication was ended abruptly in June 1883. After this, Bernard Heldmann published no further fiction under that name, and began to use the pseudonym "Richard Marsh" a few years' later.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Bernard Heldmann was born on 12th October 1857, in St Johns Wood, North London. By his early 20's Heldmann began publishing fiction for the myriad magazine publications that had sprung up and were eager for good well-written content. In October 1882, Heldmann was promoted to co-editor of Union Jack, a popular magazine, but his association with the publication ended suddenly in June 1883. It appears Heldman was prone to issuing forged cheques to finance his lifestyle. In April 1884 He was sentenced to 18 months hard labour. In order to be well away from the scandal and damage this had caused to his reputation Heldmann adopted a pseudonym on his release from jail. Shortly thereafter the name 'Richard Marsh' began to appear in the literary periodicals. The use of his mother's maiden name as part of it seems both a release and a lifeline. A stroke of very good fortune arrived with his novel The Beetle published in 1897. This would turn out to be his greatest commercial success and added some much-needed gravitas to his literary reputation. Marsh was a prolific writer and wrote almost 80 volumes of fiction as well as many short stories, across many genres from horror and crime to romance and humour.

Book excerpt: "The Beetle" is a gripping and unconventional Gothic horror novel written by Richard Marsh. The narrative is a tale of supernatural terror set in late 19th-century London. The story follows a mysterious Egyptian creature referred to as "The Beetle" that possesses shape-transferring skills, permitting it to expect numerous bureaucracy and wreak havoc on the lives of its sufferers. The plot revolves around a series of disturbing events prompted with the aid of the historic Egyptian creature's malevolent affect. The narrative is offered via a couple of perspectives, providing insights into the psychological and emotional turmoil skilled through the characters ensnared in The Beetle's net. The crucial war entails the relentless pursuit of a younger guy named Paul Lessingham by using The Beetle, who seeks revenge for perceived wrongs. Marsh's "The Beetle" explores issues of fear, obsession, and the clash among ancient and cutting-edge beliefs. The novel gained popularity for its precise narrative style and unconventional storytelling. As a work of past due Victorian horror fiction, "The Beetle" stands out for its exploration of cultural anxieties and the mysterious, supernatural elements that permeate the narrative.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Richard Marsh’ (Richard Bernard Heldmann, 1857–1915) was a bestselling, versatile and prolific author of gothic, crime, adventure, romantic and comic fiction. This book, the first on Marsh, establishes his credentials as a significant agent within the fin de siècle gothic revival. Marsh’s work spans a range of gothic modes, including the canonical fin de siècle subgenres of urban and imperial gothic and gothic-inflected sensation and supernatural fiction, but also rarer hybrid genres such as the comic gothic and the occult romance. His greatest success came in 1897 when he published his bestselling invasion narrative The Beetle: A Mystery, a novel that articulated many of the key themes of fin de siècle urban gothic and outsold its close rival, Bram Stoker’s Dracula, well into the twentieth century. The present work extends studies of Marsh’s literary production beyond The Beetle, contending that, in addition to his undoubted interest in non-normative gender and ethnic identities, Marsh was a writer with an acute sense of spatiality, whose fiction can be read productively through the lens of spatial theory.
