Synopsis:
A classic gothic tale, our narrator spends the night in the ‘Red Room’ and declares that in his eight-and-twenty years of being alive he has never seen a ghost. The three occupants of the building declare he may have not seen a ghost in his life…yet.
Mini-review:
“It’s your own choosing.”
The original Red Room, not a place of sexual kinks, but instead a place of terror. The name of this room just sounds like an ominous place, I sure as hell wouldn’t spend a night in it.
This story has amazing imagery and the tension built in it makes your heart race! Being very short sighted, at night when I have to take my glasses off, everything becomes a dark, menacing blur, so this novel played on my fear of the dark really well.
Very scary, I’m glad I didn’t read this before bed.
I loved War of the Worlds and so will give this a go thanks!
