You guys have been wonderful. Thanks mainly to you, a sweet dog is close to getting the treatment she needs. The half-way mark is behind us, and only $345 stands between her and the finish line. There are only a few days to go, so if you haven't donated yet and can spare even a few dollars, please help Yazmine and the family that loves her.

Thanks so much.

PS - This is a public post, as are the other two about the campaign, so feel free to link people back here.

Looking forward to this one as well - bit of a wait perhaps but worth it.

Book 6 -Wilkie Collins "The Haunted Hotel"

Wilkie Collins "The Haunted Hotel" (Vintage Classics)




Wilkie Collins, a close friend of Charles Dickens, is best known for his novels The Woman in White and The Moonstone, and The Haunted Hotel is very similar in its tone and atmosphere. The Countess Narona steals away Lord Montbarry from Abby Lockwood. Despite Abby's forgiving nature, the Countess is convinced that Abby has doomed her to a tragic ending. When Montbarry dies and his courier disappears, Montbarry's family slowly unravels the mystery that is left behind.

Collins has a tendency to constantly switch narrators, a technique that is also present here. It can be disconcerting until you meet all the characters and get a feel for each of them. He uses each narrator well, however, as each one is able to fill in parts of the story that the others are not able to.

The resolution of The Haunted Hotel is particularly horrific. The chills come from the total depravity and indifference that the villains exhibit towards the victims and towards each other. A good read.
