A young man arrives at an ancient castle, determined to spend the night in a room that has long been feared by its inhabitants.
Despite the warnings of three elderly custodians, he dismisses their supernatural beliefs and enters the notorious Red Room, confident that reason and courage will protect him from any imagined threat.
But as midnight approaches, the atmosphere grows increasingly oppressive. Shadows deepen, candles begin to extinguish themselves, and the young man's certainty gives way to mounting terror.
First published in 1896, The Red Room is one of H. G. Wells's finest supernatural short stories, exploring the power of fear, the fragility of rational confidence, and the terrifying influence of the human imagination.
