The star attraction is the novella The Haunted Hotel, a clever combination of detective and ghost story set in Venice, a city of grim waterways, dark shadows and death. The action takes place in an ancient palazzo coverted 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.\nThe 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.\nOther Stories include:\nThe Dream Woman\nMrs Zant and the Ghost\nA Terribly Strange Bed\nMiss Jéromette and the Clergyman\nThe Dead Hand\nBlow Up with the Brig!\nNine o’Clock\nThe Devil’s Spectacles","brand":"Wordsworth Editions Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50934116581664,"sku":"9781840225334","price":4.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781840225334.jpg?v=1785179978","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/haunted-hotel-other-stories-wilkie-collins-9781840225334","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
