The Haunted Hotel the tale of a haunting -- the tale of a crime. The ghost of Lord Montberry haunts the Palace Hotel in Venice ---. Montberry's beautiful-yet-terrifying wife, the Countess Narona, and her erstwhile brother are the center of the terror that fills the Palace Hotel. Are their malefactions at the root of the haunting -- or is there something darker, something much more unknowable at work?With a title like The Haunted Hotel you might be forgiven if you expected this book to be a ghost story. The books does have some dark and nasty scenes,-yes-there is a ghost as well, but The Haunted Hotel is a gothic mystery as well as a ghost story. The story is set in 1960 and the heroine is a lady named Agnes Lockwood, whose fianc�; Herbert Westwick (Lord Montbarry) jilted her for the rather sinister Countess Narona. He died shortly afterwards, under suspicious circumstances, while the couple were on an extended stay in Venice, accompanied by the Countess" equally sinister brother (Baron Rivar). A further mystery surrounds the disappearance of Lord Montbarry's courier (Mr Ferrari).While in Venice Lord Montbarry stayed-and died-in an old, decaying palace. Later in the book the palace is refurbished as a hotel. Lord Montbarry's brother Henry has money invested in the project so, when his nephew gets married, and honeymoons in Europe, it seems only natural that the newlyweds should spend a little time at the new hotel. The rest of the family agree to meet the happy couple in Venice and...

The author of The Woman in Black returns to the realm of supernatural hauntings in a tale that “chills the blood gently like fine wine” (The Guardian, UK). When Oliver returns to Cambridge, he makes sure to pay a visit to his former professor, now retired and living in a small college apartment. Oliver can’t help but notice a peculiar painting on the wall; a mysterious depiction of masked revelers at the Venice carnival. Yet in the foreground, there is an anachronistically modern figure. On this cold winter’s night, the old professor has decided to reveal the painting’s eerie secret. The dark art of the Venetian scene, instead of imitating life, has the power to entrap it. To stare into the painting is to play dangerously with the unseen demons it hides, and become the victim of its macabre beauty.

The Haunted Hotel A Mystery of Modern Venice by Wilkie Collins (1824-1889) Wilkie Collins's ghost story was set in 1860 and published in book form with 'My Lady's Money'. In the year 1860, the reputation of Doctor Wybrow as a London physician reached its highest point. It was reported on good authority that he was in receipt of one of the largest incomes derived from the practice of medicine in modern times. One afternoon, towards the close of the London season, the Doctor had just taken his luncheon after a specially hard morning's work in his consulting-room, and with a formidable list of visits to patients at their own houses to fill up the rest of his day--when the servant announced that a lady wished to speak to him.

This book explores Victorian and modernist haunted houses in female-authored ghost stories as representations of the architectural uncanny. It reconsiders the gendering of the supernatural in terms of unease, denial, disorientation, confinement and claustrophobia within domestic space. Drawing on spatial theory by Gaston Bachelard, Henri Lefebvre and Elizabeth Grosz, it analyses the reoccupation and appropriation of space by ghosts, women and servants as a means of addressing the opposition between the past and modernity. The chapters consider a range of haunted spaces, including ancestral mansions, ghostly gardens, suburban villas, Italian churches and houses subject to demolition and ruin. The ghost stories are read in the light of women’s non-fictional writing on architecture, travel, interior design, sacred space, technology, the ideal home and the servant problem. Women writers discussed include Elizabeth Gaskell, Margaret Oliphant, Vernon Lee, Edith Wharton, May Sinclair and Elizabeth Bowen. This book will appeal to students and researchers in the ghost story, Female Gothic and Victorian and modernist women’s writing, as well as general readers with an interest in the supernatural.
