The Haunted Hotel
ByPublisher Description
What if the walls of a hotel could remember every crime ever committed within them?
In The Haunted Hotel, Wilkie Collins-the celebrated author of The Woman in White-spins a masterfully plotted tale that begins with a broken engagement and ends with a death surrounded by whispers of the paranormal. A young nobleman suddenly dies under mysterious circumstances shortly after his hasty marriage. His widow-cold, enigmatic, and possibly cursed-takes up residence in a luxurious hotel in Venice, where guests begin to report strange noises, unexplainable chills, and terrifying visions.
When a skeptical Englishwoman investigates, what unfolds is a story of betrayal, murder, spiritual unrest, and a haunting that reaches from beyond the grave to deliver justice. This modern translation keeps all the thrilling twists and atmosphere of the original, while ensuring a seamless reading experience for the contemporary reader.
