Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Old-timey horror is often a hard sell to a modern, visually-oriented audience whose palettes have long been cleansed, and numbed, by jumpscares, the gorefests of SAW-movies and the now common trope of evil children. Thus pampered by excess, it can be hard to ignore the old works' ghost strings, cheap rubber masks and the fact that the world and its horrors back then was simply... simpler. And when Wilkie Collins, on top of all that, graces this story with what sounds like the working title of Frasier Crane's disastrous classic radio drama "Nightmare Inn" from season 4 of the eponymous sitcom, the hill suddenly seems all the steeper. Fear not, however – well, not yet at least, as "The Haunted Hotel" is classified as "unusually horrific for Collins" by collinseurs. Breaking off his engagement to Agnes Lockwood, Lord Montbarry moves into an old dilapidated palace in Venice with his new wife and her brother. But when the lord suddenly ends up dead, his brother Henry and Agnes suspect an insurance fraud on part of Montbarry's new family. As the palace is refurbished into a hotel, the pair opts to stay there in search of the truth and even with Collins' normal flair for the supernatural in mind, the story veers in almost tangible spookiness. For the time, at any rate. "The Haunted Hotel" was originally published in book form with "My Lady's Money" (1877) and dedicated to his friends Mr. and Mrs. Sebastian Schlesinger. Novelist, playwright, genre pioneer, opium addict, mentee of Charles Dickens, magnificently bearded individual – Englishman Wilkie Collins (1824-1889) has many titles to his name. Having a knack for mystery and unconventional characters, Collins' biggest contribution to world literature comes in the forms of "A Women in White" (1859) and "The Moonstone" (1868), with the former being mentioned on his headstone while the latter is widely considered the first modern detective novel.

Book excerpt: The Doctor followed her, and closed the door. He placed her in the patients' chair, opposite the windows. Even in London the sun, on that summer afternoon, was dazzlingly bright. The radiant light flowed in on her. Her eyes met it unflinchingly, with the steely steadiness of the eyes of an eagle. The smooth pallor of her unwrinkled skin looked more fearfully white than ever. For the first time, for many a long year past, the Doctor felt his pulse quicken its beat in the presence of a patient.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'It is one fact, sir, that I am a widow, ' she said. 'It is another fact, that I am going to be marriedagain.'There she paused, and smiled at some thought that occurred to her. Doctor Wybrow was notfavourably impressed by her smile-there was something at once sad and cruel in it. It came slowly, and it went away suddenly. He began to doubt whether he had been wise in acting on his firstimpression. His mind reverted to the commonplace patients and the discoverable maladies that werewaiting for him, with a certain tender regret.The lady went on.'My approaching marriage, ' she said, 'has one embarrassing circumstance connected with it. Thegentleman whose wife I am to be, was engaged to another lady when he happened to meet with me, abroad: that lady, mind, being of his own blood and family, related to him as his cousin. I haveinnocently robbed her of her lover, and destroyed her prospects in life. Innocently, I say-becausehe told me nothing of his engagement until after I had accepted him. When we next met inEngland-and when there was danger, no doubt, of the affair coming to my knowledge-he toldme the truth. I was naturally indignant. He had his excuse ready; he showed me a letter from the ladyherself, releasing him from his engagement. A more noble, a more high-minded letter, I never readin my life. I cried over it-I who have no tears in me for sorrows of my own! If the letter had lefthim any hope of being forgiven, I would have positively refused to marry him. But the firmness ofit-without anger, without a word of reproach, with heartfelt wishes even for his happiness-thefirmness of it, I say, left him no hope. He appealed to my compassion; he appealed to his love forme. You know what women are. I too was soft-hearted-I said, Very well: yes! In a week more (Itremble as I think of it) we are to be married.'She did really tremble-she was obliged to pause and compose herself, before she could go on.The Doctor, waiting for more facts, began to fear that he stood committed to a long story. 'Forgiveme for reminding you that I have suffering persons waiting to see me, ' he said. 'The sooner you cancome to the point, the better for my patients and for me.'The strange smile-at once so sad and so cruel-showed itself again on the lady's lips. 'Everyword I have said is to the point, ' she answered. 'You will see it yourself in a moment more.'She resumed her narr
