From the author of the famous works 'The Moonstone' and 'The Woman in White' comes another gripping Victorian novel - 'The Haunted Hotel: A Mystery in Modern Venice.'

English writer William Wilkie Collins (1824-1889) is rightfully considered the founder of the so-called 'sensation novel,' which later divided into the adventure and detective genres. Collins is a recognized master of intrigue and a gripping plot. The skillful combination of mystery, detective fiction, moralizing, and romance in a single work is the key to the unprecedented reader success of his novels and short stories.

Countess Narona marries Lord Montrabrit, the fiancé of Agnes Lockwood, and takes him on a journey that ends in an ancient palazzo in Venice. Strange things happen in this mansion—disappearances, deaths... A little time passes, and the run-down palazzo turns into a fashionable hotel. But there is no peace in this place; something is driving the hotel guests crazy.

Immerse yourself in an atmosphere of terrible secrets, try spending the night in room 14 of the best hotel in Venice, if you dare!

The collection includes stories and short stories by Collins, also filled with mysticism and detective elements.
