About the Author

Richard Marsh (12 October 1857 - 9 August 1915) was the pseudonym of the English 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. Many of these have been republished recently, beginning with The Beetle in 2004. Marsh's grandson Robert Aickman was a notable writer of short "strange stories".

Editorial Reviews

"Few novels of the period rival Marsh's precision in portraying internal conflict and social tension. A Duel offers both an emotional journey and a philosophical exploration, reminding readers of literature's power to illuminate the complexities of human behavior and enduring ethical dilemmas."
