Produktbeschreibung

The story begins with Miss Daisy Strong who has met a rather fascinating young man named Mr Lawrence whilst in Brighton. 'He was holding her hand in his, and looking at her with something in his eyes which there and then she told herself would never do.' Unfortunately, she is already engaged to Mr. Cyril Paxton, a feckless speculator on the stock market. Mr Paxton is always claiming to be on the next big thing and has consequently lost his fortune. Daisy gives him an ultimatum - make your fortune back or we can't be married - and, of course, Mr Paxton goes and loses it all in a final disastrous speculation. (Goodreads)

Autorenporträt

English writer Richard Marsh (1857 1915) is most remembered for producing a large body of popular literature in the late 19th and early 20th century. He was born in England as Richard Bernard Heldmann and used the pen name "Richard Marsh" for his writing. When Marsh started writing in the 1880s, he was well known for his ability to write engrossing mysteries, suspense, and otherworldly stories. Although Marsh wrote in a variety of genres, such as science fiction, horror, mystery, and romance, his contributions to the Victorian and Edwardian ghost story tradition are arguably what made him most famous. His works frequently combined the macabre and the bizarre, drawing comparisons to other highly regarded writers of the day like Bram Stoker and H.G. Wells.
