The Beetle was published in 1897, the same year as Dracula-and outsold it six to one that year. Like Dracula, the novel is steeped in the evil mysteries of an ancient horror: in this case, a mysterious ancient Egyptian creature bent on revenge.The story is told through the sequential points of view of a group of middle-class Victorians who find themselves enmeshed in the creature's plot. The creature, in the guise of an Egyptian man, appears in London seeking revenge against a popular member of Parliament. They soon find out that it can shape shift into other things, including women; that it can control minds and use hypnosis; and that it won't stop at anything to get the revenge it seeks. The heroes are soon caught in a whirlwind of chase scenes, underground laboratories, secret cults, and more as they race to foil the creature.While The Beetle didn't earn the lasting popularity of Stoker's counterpart, it remains a strange and unique morsel of Victorian sensationalist fiction.
