The Beetle: a Mystery by Richard Marsh Pdf

The Beetle (or The Beetle: A Mystery) is an 1897 horror novel by the British writer Richard Marsh, in which a polymorphous Ancient Egyptian entity seeks revenge on a British Member of Parliament. It initially out-sold Bram Stoker's similar horror story Dracula, which appeared the same year The story is told from four points of view, which generally flow from each other with limited scene repetition. In order, the four narrators are Robert Holt, Sydney Atherton, Marjorie Lindon, and Augustus Champnell.[2] The story is written down as elaborate testimonies gathered by Champnell, who is a detective and who, despite only appearing during his own narration, provides the context of the antagonists' motives and the wrap-up of how the rest of the cast fared after the adventure. The events described are insinuated to be based on fact and several names used in the novel are supposedly altered to protect the identities of those involved. The year is not given, or rather left ambiguous at 18--, but everything takes place over a three-day period around 2 June on a Friday.

The Beetle A Mystery by Richard Marsh Pdf

The Beetle: A Mystery by Richard Marsh A story about a mysterious oriental figure chasing a British politician in London, where he wreaks havoc with his hypnotic and shapeshifting powers, Marsh's novel is a piece with other sensational turn-of-the-century fictions such as Stoker's Dracula, George's Trilby du Maurier and Fu Manchu by Sax Rohmer. Like Dracula and many of the sensational novels introduced by Wilkie Collins and others in the 1860s, The Beetle is told from the perspective of multiple characters, a technique used in many late 19th-century novels (those of Wilkie Collins and Stoker, for example) to create suspense Richard Marsh was the pseudonym of the British author Richard Bernard Heldmann. The title character is Mary Louise Burrows. In the first books of the series, she is a fifteen-year-old girl with an unusual maturity (although the other girls at her boarding school find her a bit cheeky). She is suddenly confronted with the fact that her beloved grandfather is suspected no less of a crime than of treason against the United States. With the help of old and new friends of Mary Louise ... the truth is discovered. The novel features a federal agent named John O'Gorman; he is assisted by his daughter Josie, a young woman who he trained himself to function as an investigator. (Josie O'Gorman's character, despite her predating Nancy Drew by over a decade, is far less traditionally female.)

Beetle & the Hollowbones by Aliza Layne Pdf

An enchanting, riotous, and playfully illustrated debut graphic novel following a young goblin trying to save her best friend from the haunted mall—perfect for fans of Steven Universe and Adventure Time. In the eerie town of ‘Allows, some people get to be magical sorceresses, while other people have their spirits trapped in the mall for all ghastly eternity. Then there’s twelve-year-old goblin-witch Beetle, who’s caught in between. She’d rather skip being homeschooled completely and spend time with her best friend, Blob Glost. But the mall is getting boring, and B.G. is cursed to haunt it, tethered there by some unseen force. And now Beetle’s old best friend, Kat, is back in town for a sorcery apprenticeship with her Aunt Hollowbone. Kat is everything Beetle wants to be: beautiful, cool, great at magic, and kind of famous online. Beetle’s quickly being left in the dust. But Kat’s mentor has set her own vile scheme in motion. If Blob Ghost doesn’t escape the mall soon, their afterlife might be coming to a very sticky end. Now, Beetle has less than a week to rescue her best ghost, encourage Kat to stand up for herself, and confront the magic she’s been avoiding for far too long. And hopefully ride a broom without crashing.
