The Chase
of the Ruby
MOST STRIKING NOVEL
The Speaker says: 'A story of the most terrific kind is duly recordedin this extremely powerful book. The skill with which its fantastichorrors are presented to us is undeniable.'
The Daily Graphic says: 'It is the kind of book which you put downonly for the purpose of turning up the gas and making sure that noperson or thing is standing behind your chair; and it is a book whichno one will put down until finished, except for the reason abovedescribed.'
The Glasgow Herald says: 'The weird horror of this being grows uponthe reader. It is difficult, if not impossible, to lay down this bookwhen once begun.'
The Academy says: '"Dracula," by Mr Bram Stoker, was creepy, but MrMarsh goes one, oh! many more than one, better. This surprising andingenious story succeeds in producing that sensation of horror whichshould make the flesh of even the least susceptible reader creep.'

The St James's Budget says: 'The frontispiece is a nightmare, and theterrors are thrillingly described. One is compelled to read it to theend.'
The Birmingham Daily Gazette says: 'A powerful and vigorous story of amost terrible character, told with skill and ingenuity. It is evenmore strange and mysterious than Bulwer's "Zanoni."'
