What if a single room could remember every death, every secret-and refused to stay silent? E.F. Benson, best known for his elegant prose and refined horror, delivers a haunting masterwork in The Room, a psychological ghost story where the setting itself becomes the antagonist. When a man inherits an old house, he is warned of one locked room-unassuming, unused, and curiously avoided by all who once lived there.

What if a single room could remember every death, every secret-and refused to stay silent? E.F. Benson, best known for his elegant prose and refined horror, delivers a haunting masterwork in The Room, a psychological ghost story where the setting itself becomes the antagonist. When a man inherits an old house, he is warned of one locked room-unassuming, unused, and curiously avoided by all who once lived there. Intrigued and skeptical, he enters... and awakens something ancient and malevolent that has been waiting in the silence. This modern translation captures Benson's uncanny ability to build dread through atmosphere, suggestion, and the uncanny familiarity of domestic spaces turned hostile. A must-read for fans of ghost stories that prioritize mood over gore, and mystery over explanation. What You'll Discover in This Modern Translation: * A chilling ghost story built on psychological tension, not shock * A room with a history of suffering, madness, and spectral visitations * A protagonist descending into obsession and fear * A haunting narrative that explores memory, grief, and the unseen world * A timeless gothic story restored in modern language for new readers With his signature restraint and literary polish, Benson proves that the most terrifying monsters may be the ones we can't quite see-and that some spaces should remain locked forever.
