An unnamed protagonist chooses to spend the night in an allegedly haunted room, colored bright red in Lorraine Castle. He intends to disprove the legends surrounding it. Despite vague warnings from the three infirm custodians who reside in the castle, the narrator ascends to "the Red Room" to begin his night's vigil.
Initially confident, the narrator becomes increasingly uneasy in the room. He attempts to conquer his fear by lighting candles, but keeping the candles lit in the draughty room becomes an ongoing battle. Each time a candle is snuffed out, the narrator's fear and paranoia increases.
"The Red Room" is a short story by H. G. Wells, an English writer known mainly for his work in the science fiction genre. He was also a prolific writer of many other genres, including contemporary novels, history, politics and social commentary. His most notable science fiction works include "The War of the Worlds", "The Time Machine", "The Invisible Man" and "Doctor Moreau's Island".
