Complete Supernatural Horror Romance

The pseudonym of the British author born Richard Bernard Heldmann. A best-selling and prolific author of the late 19th century and the Edwardian period, Marsh is best known now for his supernatural thriller novel The Beetle, which was published the same year as Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897), and was initially even more popular. The Beetle remained in print until 1960. Marsh produced nearly 80 volumes of fiction and numerous short stories, in genres including horror, crime, romance and humour.

FRIVOLITIES-
"Brimful of fun."--Daily Telegraph.

"Mr. Marsh is a humorist who is genuinely funny."--St. James's Gazette.

"For pure amusement we have not of late met anything to equal 'Frivolities.' The title is a little misleading, for the careless might imagine the book to contain nothing but trifles. In reality the stories are finished with the utmost skill. Their humour is irresistible."--The Yorkshire Post.

"You do not merely smile as you read, but laugh outright, and you laugh all the time. Deliciously funny, and could not be better told."--The Scotsman.

TOM OSSINGTON'S GHOST.-
"Mr. Marsh has been inspired by an entirely original idea, and has worked it out with great ingenuity. We like this weird but not repulsive story better than anything he has ever done."--The World.
