From the author of the celebrated works "The Moonstone" and "The Woman in White" comes another gripping Victorian novel—"The Haunted Hotel: A Mystery in Modern Venice."
English writer William Wilkie Collins (1824–1889) is rightfully considered the founder of the so-called "sensation novel," which later diversified into the adventure and detective genres. Collins is a recognized master of intrigue and gripping plots. His skillful combination of mystery, detective fiction, morality, and romance in a single work is the key to the unprecedented success of his novels and short stories.
The Countess of Narona marries Lord Montrabrit, Agnes Lockwood's fiancé, and takes him on a journey that ends in an ancient Venetian palazzo. Strange things happen in this mansion: disappearances, deaths... A short time passes, and the run-down palazzo is transformed into a luxury hotel. But there's no peace in this place; something is driving the hotel guests crazy.
Immerse yourself in an atmosphere of terrible secrets and try spending the night in room 14 of Venice's finest hotel, if you dare!
This collection includes Collins's short stories and novellas, also imbued with mysticism and detective elements.
