Sure to attract more readers than any of his other stories?

Richard Marsh (1857-1915) is remembered for his supernatural novels and stories. In 1897 his novel “The Beetle” outsold Bram Stoker’s “Dracula” six to one. He’s kinda been forgotten. But a lot of his works are available public domain now and this cover is typical of what happens to neglected classics in the 21st century.

Interesting. I’ll look him up on Project Gutenberg, and not send a dime to whoever put together this collection!

H.P. Lovecraft’s long essay on ‘”Supernatural Horror in Literature”. 
mentions Richard Marsh’s novel The Beetle.

Decades ago when I first read HPL’s SHIL I found a lot of neglected authors’ works at Guttenberg.
