Wilkie Collins - 2006
This collection showcases the cunning storytelling of Wilkie Collins, author of "The Woman in White" and "The Moonstone." The centerpiece is the novella "The Haunted Hotel," a sophisticated fusion of detective fiction and ghost story. Set in Venice, it unfolds within an ancient palazzo transformed into a hotel harboring a dark secret. The narrative is characterized by supernatural horror, a driving pace, and a compelling tale of a doomed countess.
The accompanying stories delve into equally disturbing scenarios, featuring apparitions, animated corpses, ancestral curses, and the peculiar "Devil's spectacles," which grant a vision so clear it can lead to madness.
