The Beetle

About this book

When the secrets of the past return to haunt the heart of the Empire, fear turns into a being breathing in the dark, separated from you only by an open window. Working within a character-led narrative, the book explores gothic and classics without treating the subject as an abstraction. Pressure, uncertainty, and difficult choices reveal the emotional logic behind the story's conflicts. Its appeal lies in the movement between outward events and inward consequence, giving readers both narrative momentum and room to reflect on the questions the characters face.
