First published in 1897, Richard Marsh’s The Beetle remains a chilling gem of gothic horror. When destitute clerk Robert Holt stumbles into a deserted house, he encounters a monstrous being with uncanny, hypnotic powers—a creature that shifts between human guise and grotesque insect form. As it ensnares its victims and spreads terror through London’s unsuspecting streets, Marsh weaves a tale of dread, obsession, and supernatural menace that rivaled Dracula in its day.
