The Beetle by Richard Marsh

5.0

A genuine joy to read that kept me on the edge of my seat. There was quite a bit here in terms of racist and sexist language, which I sort of expect from a classic of this period but I found extremely blatant here. If you are particularly sensitive to that, I think it’s good to be aware before diving in. The characters were well drawn and genuinely funny! Such a wonderful, spooky read for this time of year.
