About this ebook
The Goddess: A Demon by Richard Marsh is a great example of Victorian sensationalist literature. Marsh follows in the tradition of Wilkie Collins, Bram Stoker and H. Rider Haggard by incorporating otherworldly, supernatural elements into a wild story about murder in 19th century London. Fans of the aforesaid authors should find this an entertaining read, while fans of Marsh's earlier novel "The Beetle" will be pleased that the "The Goddess" features the same combination of mystery, romance and gothic horror. Ultimately, what makes Marsh so much fun to read is his keen sense of humor. Marsh isn't afraid to let you laugh at the ridiculousness of his over the top plot lines or his blundering narrator, and this goes a long way towards making the extravagance of the plot a strength rather than a weakness. (Amazon) This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
