A chilling psychological novel of guilt, vanity, and self-deception-rediscovered.
In a quiet house along the Thames, a failed poet commits an impulsive crime. What follows is not horror, but justification-an unnerving monologue that slowly reveals the collapse of a man's conscience.
First published in 1920, The House by the River is a forgotten masterpiece of psychological suspense. A.P. Herbert, best known for his wit and legal satire, offers here a profoundly unsettling portrait of an articulate, intelligent man who rationalizes murder with terrifying ease. There is no mystery, no question of guilt-only the quiet dread of watching a mind recast evil as innocence.
This restored edition, edited by C.S. Bleecker, features updated formatting, careful preservation of Herbert's voice, and historical context. With contributions from Robin Whittleton, Greg Bergquist, and Mary Meehan, this edition invites a new generation of readers into the dark, swirling waters of a novel once lost to time.
Perfect for fans of The Talented Mr. Ripley, Crime and Punishment, and Rebecca.
