The Room in the Dragon Volant edit
The description in the article is too little and somewhat misleading. The story might better be described, not as a mystery, but as a suspense story with minor gothic elements. Some characters speculate about possible supernatural events; but there are no supernatural elements in the story. The story involves adventures of a moderately wealthy, young Englishman (not a titled noble) traveling in France in 1815, very soon after the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo. This is the young man's first travel to the continent. There is an element of premature burial near the end of the story, but I would hardly call it a "theme." The story for the most part involves the experiences, thoughts, and adventures of the young traveler and people he encounters. The style is remarkably "modern" for something written in the mid-nineteenth century and is well worth reading. The final chapter provide an explanation of some of the earlier events or experiences in a plausible and modern way, including details of nineteenth century of police forensics that seem surprisingly modern. With the possible exception of "Carmilla," it is much more interesting than other stories in the collection. RoseHawk (talk) 13:52, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
