内容简介 Book Description"The Haunted Hotel and Other Stories" is a work of mystery.
"Have you ever heard of the fascination of terror?"
This is a unique collection of strange stories from the cunning pen of Wilkie Collins, author of
The Woman in White and
The Moonstone. The Star attraction is the novella ghost story set in Venice, a city of grim waterways, dark shadows and death. The action takes place in an ancient palazzo converted into a modern hotel that houses a grisly secret. The supernatural horror, relentless pace, tight narrative, and a doomed countess characterise and distinguish this powerful tale.
The other stories present equally disturbing scenarios, which include ghosts, corpses that move, family curses and perhaps the most unusual of all, the Devil's spectacles, which bring a clarity of vision that can lead to madness.
Collins is one of the great storytellers. He excels in presenting narratives that both disturb and engross the reader, as this fine collection demonstrates.
