<div><p><strong>Editedand with an Introduction by David Stuart Davies.</strong></p></div><div><p>¿Have you ever heard of the fascination of terror?¿</p></div><div><p>This is a unique collection of strange stories from the cunning pen of Wilkie Collins, author of <em>The Woman in White</em> and <em>The Moonstone</em>. The star attraction is the novella <em>The Haunted Hotel</em>, 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.</p></div><div><p>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.</p></div>
