Sobre aquest llibre
Hailed by some fans as the Stephen King of the early twentieth century, Richard Marsh produced a prodigious body of work in the horror, mystery, and supernatural genres before turning to action-adventure later in life. The collection Between the Dark and the Daylight brings together some of Marsh's best work, ranging from mysteries to romances and more.
Sobre l'autor
Richard Marsh, born Richard Bernard Heldmann on October 12, 1857, in London, was a prolific British author whose works spanned the late Victorian and Edwardian eras. Marsh's writing career began under his birth name, but after a stint in prison for forgery, he adopted his more famous pseudonym. This intriguing twist in his life story adds a layer of mystery and redemption that captivates modern readers.Marsh is best known for his supernatural and horror fiction, with "The Beetle" (1897) often cited as his magnum opus. This novel, which outsold Bram Stoker's "Dracula" in its time, showcases Marsh's ability to blend horror with social commentary, reflecting the anxieties and fascinations of a rapidly changing society. His works often explore themes of identity, transformation, and the uncanny, resonating with contemporary issues of self and otherness.Marsh's influence on contemporary writers is notable; his innovative narrative techniques and genre-blending style paved the way for future horror and mystery authors. His ability to weave suspense with psychological depth prefigured the works of later masters like H.P. Lovecraft and Stephen King.Despite his commercial success, Marsh's reputation waned after his death in 1915, only to be revived by modern scholars and readers who appreciate his contributions to genre fiction. His life, marked by scandal and reinvention, mirrors the themes of his stories, making Richard Marsh a figure of enduring fascination in literary history.
