Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"The Red Room" by H. G. Wells is a Gothic short story written in 1894. A confident narrator volunteers to spend the night in a supposedly haunted room at Lorraine Castle, determined to disprove supernatural legends. Despite warnings from the castle's elderly custodians, he begins his vigil. As darkness deepens, his rational certainty crumbles into mounting terror, leading to a startling revelation about the true nature of what haunts the crimson chamber.
