Synopsis

Richard Marsh's "The Collected Works of Richard Marsh" offers a rich exploration of the late Victorian literary scene, showcasing a diverse array of genres including gothic horror, psychological suspense, and social commentary. Through a distinctive blend of vivid prose and compelling narratives, Marsh examines the complexities of human nature, the supernatural, and the societal tensions of his time. This comprehensive collection not only highlights Marsh's mastery of atmosphere and character but also situates his work alongside contemporaries such as Bram Stoker and Arthur Machen, revealing his contributions to the evolution of supernatural fiction and his nuanced insights into matters of identity and morality. Richard Marsh, an influential but often overlooked figure of the turn of the 20th century, was deeply engaged with the changing dynamics of society, influenced by his background in law and experiences in a rapidly modernizing world. His diverse career, which encompassed roles as an editor and journalist, coupled with his fascination for the bizarre and the occult, shaped his literary output. Marsh's works reflect a keen awareness of contemporary anxieties, as evidenced by his most famous novel, "The Beetle," which brilliantly intertwines themes of race, gender, and power. "The Collected Works of Richard Marsh" will captivate readers seeking a richly layered and thought-provoking journey through the shadows of Victorian literature. Marsh's innovative storytelling and exploration of societal themes resonate deeply with modern audiences, offering timeless reflections on the darkest recesses of the human experience. This collection is an essential addition for scholars and enthusiasts of gothic literature and those intrigued by the historical context of horror fiction.

    What happens beyond the end of time? 
    In Munderworld, time has become meaningless. With the world of po gone, there isn’t much for many to do beyond endure their existence. Though there is one person, a jester from a bygone age, who chooses to spend his time high in the mountains looking at the stars. 
    He and his friend, a small and chatty imp called Fiddle, decide on some antics to pass the time and end up angering a celestial entity. After barely escaping with their lives, Cynkz is given brief glimpses of an odd vision. Unsure of what to make of it, he decides it is a good enough reason as any to venture down through the depths of Munderworld and see if they can find an audience with the enigmatic Munder King–the lord of darkness, he who created Munderworld (and has not been seen or heard of for eons). 
    A simple, carefree decision to seek adventure soon turns into a series of growing perils as the dynamic duo meet many others just trying to get by. Cynkz’s own curiosities become entwined with the goals and wishes of others as his own resolve gets tested the further down they go.

    One of the Magicians suffers from human nature, and the brazen, devil-may-care, risk-taker Lance Alexander Sr realises he is mortal. He has a horrible dream of the angel of death killing, and the next day he meets a person in his dream. He dreads them recognising him. Furthermore, he knows they will kill him if they do and free the Angel his soul in killing him. He is scared, more scared than he ever was before. 
    He knows one of them will die, but who? 
    It's human nature to fear death, and that went doubly for Lancelot Alexander, the Necromancer, a grim reaper with the soul of an uncontrollable violent killer. In the past, he feared death less, but now he feared what would be released into the world when he died; his soul was a horrible killer worse than him. 
     Lance awoke from a very bad dream, screaming. 
    “Lance, are you alright?” Asked his wife, spooked by her husband's screaming. 
    "I saw the angel kill again," said the sweating, scared man, whom the police called a serial killer.

    When she finally picked up the phone Brielle went on heat waves sharing her latest experience with her. Sasha felt a little relieved to know she wasn’t the only one becoming paranoid. 
    “So anyway, the group has decided the activity should be night hiking. Talk about adventurers.” 
    “That sounds kinda crazy……. but ok. I need to get out of this house.” Sasha spoke up. After finalizing the details the two hung up. She closed her eyes. Her house sounded different to her. She could hear animals scurrying outside, the wind blowing faintly off the treetops and murmuring. It was as if her whole neighborhood was now in range of her ears. Opening her eyes abruptly, she decided she would do something besides eavesdrop on the neighborhood. She picked up her notepad and flipped to the back. She found a pencil and began drawing-nothing in particular. When she had finished she looked at it in marvel and confusion. It looked like some sort of cave system. Shrugging, she picked up her notepad and began scribbling.
