“The Red Room” is a gothic-horror short story by the British author H.G. Wells, written in 1894 and published two years later in The Idler magazine. The story follows an unnamed young man—its narrator—as he undertakes to spend a night in the famously haunted “Red Room” of Lorraine Castle. After a terrifying night, the initially skeptical narrator concedes that the room is haunted, not by a ghost but by “Fear” itself. Wells, a major figure of turn-of-the-century British literature, is best known for sci-fi and horror novels including The Time Machine, The War of the Worlds, and The Invisible Man.
