The Beetle
by Richard Marsh
Part 1 – good
Part 2 – not good
Part 3 – not good
Part 4 – good
I read somewhere once that authors used to get paid by the word. This book is a great example of this policy. There is a lot of filler here. I would have liked this much more as a novella or even a short story. The middle section of this book dragged for me and there were a few times I thought about DNF’ing. Another review stated that this book came out at the same time as Dracula and for a while was more popular. I can see after having read both of them why Dracula has stood the test of time while this one faded into the background
