Foul whisperings are abroad... All London is scandalised when Lord Mountbarry jilts his virtuous fiancee, Agnes, and marries instead a mysterious foreign Countess with a shadowy past. Bride and groom retreat from the world to a mouldering palazzo in Venice, but ill fortune follows them. A servant disappears, strange smells emanate from the underground vaults, Mountbarry sickens and suddenly dies. But death is not the end of the story. A year later, the Venice palazzo has been transformed into a sumptuous hotel, but no amount of fresh paint can disguise the sinister history of Room 14. Blood will have blood they say... It includes The Ghost Story 'The Dream Woman'.
