"The Haunted Hotel" was published as a magazine serial in Belgravia from June through November 1878. This Canadian edition was published in October 1878 and preceded the first British edition in book form (published by Chatto and Windus sometime during the first two weeks of November 1878, although the title page is dated 1879) which combined "The Haunted Hotel" with "My Lady's Money." "In many respects this is Collins's last sustained work. The detective element is clever; the story embodies the full development and complexity which were Collins's forte; and the psychology of the countess and her relationship with Fate are excellent. The supernatural aspects, however, are pedestrian." - Bleiler, The Guide to Supernatural Fiction 411. Ashley, Who's Who in Horror and Fantasy Fiction, p. 55.
