The Haunted Hotel
Wilkie Collins
The Haunted Hotel by Wilkie Collins is a gripping blend of mystery and supernatural elements, set against the backdrop of Venice.

After their marriage, Montbarry and Narona retreat to a decaying palace in Venice, where Montbarry mysteriously dies of bronchitis shortly after claiming a substantial life insurance policy.
As the narrative unfolds, Montbarry's family arrives at the newly refurbished hotel that occupies the site of his death. Unbeknownst to them, they are staying in the very room where he perished.
