The Twickenham Peerage

Richard Marsh, an influential English author of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, gained fame for his supernatural thriller that captivated readers and outsold Bram Stoker's Dracula upon its release. Known for his prolific output, he authored nearly 80 volumes across various genres, including horror, crime, romance, and humor. His work remained popular for decades, with The Beetle staying in print until 1960, and many of his stories have recently seen a revival in publication.
