Summary
Wilke Collins was the author of two of the greatest mysteries ever written, The Moonstone and The Woman in White. However, like Poe before him and Conan Doyle after, he shifted easily from rational domains to the 'superrational'. Like them, he often preferred to indulge his occult predilection, a lifelong indulgence. His last lucid effort in this area (before ill health and opium drained his powers) was this short novel, written in 1878. In it, he artfully combines elements of both the detective story and the supernatural.

Very bad narration
The worst narration I have ever heard, the narrator is such a bad reader it is unintelligible at times.

The only haunted thing is the narration
What disappointed you about The Haunted Hotel?
The story is well written but not one of Wilkie Collins' best, mainly because of a lack of suspense.
How could the performance have been better?
This is an old recording. The narrator sounds as though he is sitting in a cardboard box and for large parts there is an irritating background buzz. The narrator's voice is one of an old-school luvvie ack-tor, with some very off-putting enunciation.

Good story odd audio
The story is excellent - maybe a little predictable. Agnes is a bit of a wuss. The reading is s bit odd. Up and down and the voices are odd.
