The Haunted Hotel

The Haunted Hotel by Wilkie Collins is a gripping blend of mystery and supernatural elements, set against the backdrop of Venice. The story begins with the tumultuous relationship between Lord Montbarry and the enigmatic Countess Narona, who has recently jilted Montbarry's former fiancée, Agnes Lockwood. 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. Each family member experiences eerie phenomena—insomnia, nightmares, and unsettling odors—culminating in Agnes witnessing a disembodied head descending from the ceiling.
