The Goddess: A Demon
Autor Richard Marsh Editat de Minna Vuohelainenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 mai 2010
After a night of intemperate drinking and gambling with his neighbour Edwin Lawrence, John Ferguson awakens in a cold sweat from a horrible nightmare in which he seemed to see Lawrence being torn to shreds by some vicious beast. But what is Ferguson's horror when he wakes to find that a beautiful woman, covered in blood and with no memory, has climbed through his window and that his vision of Lawrence's death is all too true!
Who is the killer? The list of suspects is long: Ferguson, the lovely amnesiac, the dead man's dissolute brother. Or maybe the truth is more terrible still: Was Lawrence slain by the supernatural creature of Ferguson's dream - a bloodthirsty demon capable of the most savage of murders?
One of eight novels published by the prolific Marsh at the height of his popularity in 1900, The Goddess: A Demon retains its ability to thrill and terrify. This new edition, the first in over 75 years, features the unabridged text of the first edition and includes a new introduction and notes by Minna Vuohelainen as well as a wealth of contextual appendices and a reproduction of the original cover.

Notă biografică
Richard Bernard Heldmann, an English novelist who was born on 12 October 1857 and died on 9 August 1915, wrote under the pen name Richard Marsh. He wrote a lot in the later years of the 19th century. His supernatural thriller book The Beetle is his best-known work. In 1880, Heldmann started writing and publishing fiction, first as boys' school and adventure stories for magazine publishers. Recent research has revealed that Heldmann was condemned to 18 months of hard labor on 10 April 1884 in the West Kent Quarter Sessions for issuing several counterfeit checks in Britain and France throughout 1883. After being released from prison, Heldmann chose a pseudonym, and in 1888, fiction written under the name "Richard Marsh" started to appear in literary magazines. In 1893, two novels were published under this pseudonym. In the 1890s and the first decade of the 20th century, Marsh wrote and published a lot. On August 9, 1915, at Haywards Heath, Sussex, he passed away from heart illness. Many of his books were released after his death.
