The Haunted Hotel
by Wilkie Collins
More gothic than horror, this isn't Collins at his best but it's still a sinister little slice of Victorian Gothic that should appeal to fans of The Moonstone and The Woman in White. As always with Collins, there's a nice dramatic (or maybe that should be melodramatic!) flair and some superbly sinister goings on to keep the reader guessing. The settings are very well-realised but the pacing struggles at times, with an exciting opener slowing to a saggy middle before picking up the pace again at the end. Overall however, an enjoyable read.
