Description
In the shadowy heart of Victorian London, an ancient Egyptian entity, known only as the Beetle, arrives with a singular purpose: revenge. This shape-shifting being relentlessly pursues Paul Lessingham, a politician haunted by his past actions in Egypt, weaving a chilling narrative of retribution. As the Beetle's influence spreads, it ensnares those around Lessingham, plunging them into a world of supernatural terror and moral ambiguity. Marsh masterfully crafts a fin de siècle gothic horror that explores themes of colonialism, obsession, and the terrifying consequences of forgotten sins.
