作者简介

Richard Marsh, the pseudonym of British author Richard Bernard Heldmann (1857–1915), was a prolific writer in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, best known for his supernatural and mystery novels. Marsh's literary career was notable for its varied genres, including horror, crime, and romance, but he achieved the peak of his fame with the publication of 'The Beetle' (1897), a novel which rivalled Bram Stoker's 'Dracula' in popularity at the time. Although 'The Beetle' remains his most well-known work, his bibliography is extensive, encompassing over 80 books and numerous short stories, later culminating in collections such as 'The Collected Works'. His writing style is characterized by a penchant for suspense, the uncanny, and a keen insight into the human psyche, attributes that have garnered him a respected place in the annals of horror and mystery literature. Marsh's contribution to these genres continues to be the subject of literary scholarship and has prompted a reevaluation of his broader impact on Victorian and Edwardian sensationalist fiction. Despite the inevitable waxing and waning of his literary reputation after his death, Marsh's work has enjoyed a renaissance in recent years with scholars and enthusiasts revisiting his stories for their complex intertwining of fear, fascination, and the fin-de-siècle anxieties of his era.
