The Wordsworth Editions Mystery & Supernatural range is a collection of classic ghost stories, weird tales and intriguing mysteries written by masters of the genre. These paperbacks have bold, iconic covers, making them a striking addition to your bookshelves.
This is a unique collection of strange stories from the cunning pen of Wilkie Collins, author of The Woman in White and The Moonstone. 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 converted 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.
