«Mon corps, ma prison» is the autobiographical testimony of Richard Marsh and Jeff Hudson, published by City Editions in paperback (282 pages, in French).
After a vascular accident, Richard Marsh is left paralysed and unable to speak; doctors believe he is brain-dead, although he remains conscious and hears everything. Trapped by locked-in syndrome, he must prove he is alive so they do not disconnect him. He then recounts his rehabilitation and how he relearns to breathe, eat and communicate.
Published on 18 January 2017; the full subtitle is «Comment j'ai surmonté mon locked-in syndrom».
Suitable for readers of real-life testimonies and stories of overcoming serious illness, with a human and medical focus.
Richard Marsh was the pseudonym of the English author born Richard Bernard Heldmann. A best-selling and prolific author of the late 19th century and the Edwardian period, Marsh is best known now for his supernatural thriller novel The Beetle, which was published the same year as Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897), and was initially even more popular, outselling Dracula six times over. The Beetle remained in print until 1960. Marsh produced nearly 80 volumes of fiction and numerous short stories, in genres including horror, crime, romance and humour. Many of these have been republished recently, beginning with The Beetle in 2004. Marsh's grandson Robert Aickman was a notable writer of short "strange stories".
