The Haunted Hotel
Autor Wilkie Collinsen Limba Engleză Paperback
A woman walks into a London consulting room with a question no doctor can easily answer: is she evil, or is she mad? From that uneasy beginning, Wilkie Collins draws the reader into a Victorian Gothic mystery where marriage, money, suspicion and supernatural dread gather around a palace on the Grand Canal.
Lord Montbarry dies in Venice, apparently from illness. An Italian courier vanishes. A grieving wife receives money from an unknown hand. Months later, the palace has become a fashionable hotel, yet Room 14 remains marked by whispers, illness and visions no guest can comfortably explain.
A classic haunted-house story, The Haunted Hotel deals in London society, Venetian secrecy and family unease with Collins's gift for suspense and moral ambiguity. This edition also includes The Dream Woman, a compact tale where nightmare, premonition and domestic terror combine in a spine-chilling tale.
