Like <em>Dracula</em> and many of the sensation novels pioneered by Wilkie Collins and others in the 1860s, <em>The Beetle</em> is narrated from the perspectives of multiple characters, a technique used in many late nineteenth-century novels (those of Wilkie Collins and Stoker, for example) to create suspense.<br/><br/>Richard Marsh was the pseudonym of the British author born Richard Bernard Heldmann. </span><div style="break-after:column;"></div><br />
