The Wilkie Collins Collection includes four novels by the master of early “sensation novel”:

The Dream Woman

Originally published in Household Words in 1855 as ‘The Ostler’, but recast and expanded two decades later, The Dream Woman is a powerfully dark and suspenseful multi-narrative novella from the master of the mystery genre and the author of some of the most enduringly popular novels of the Victorian era.

The Haunted Hotel

Described by T.S. Eliot as ‘a master of plot and situation

The Moonstone

Described by T.S. Eliot as the first, the longest and the best of modern English detective novels, Wilkie Collins’s The Moonstone is an important precursor of the modern mystery and suspense genres.

The Woman in White 

A tale of love, madness, deceit and redemption, boasting sublime Gothic settings and pulse-quickening suspense, The Woman in White was the first best-selling Victorian sensation novel, sparking off a huge trend in the fiction of the time with its compulsive, fascinating narrative.

Wilkie Collins

Wilkie Collins remains most famous for his novels The Moonstone and The Woman in White, in which he pioneered a new style of “sensation” writing, the influence of which can still be seen in today’s culture in the genres of crime, mystery and suspense. He is also renowned for his close relationship with Charles Dickens, who regarded him as the most talented of his many protégés.
