The Joss: A Reversion

The Joss: A Reversion, written by Richard Marsh in 1901, follows Mary Blyth, who, after being fired from her job, learns she has inherited a mysterious old house from her deceased uncle. As she navigates the house's secrets, haunted by spirits and pursued by ruthless thugs, she must uncover whether her uncle is truly dead or playing a deadly game from beyond the grave. The novel features multiple perspectives and a monstrous antagonist, making it a notable companion to Marsh's earlier work, The Beetle, which was a bestseller of its time.
