Ghosts, hauntings and uneasy nights make up this gathering of Charles Dickens's supernatural short fiction, drawn from his magazine work and from passages embedded in his longer books.
Among the pieces collected are To Be Read at Dusk, The Bagman's Story and The Ghost in the Bride's Chamber, along with work written in collaboration with Wilkie Collins and Elizabeth Gaskell. Dickens returned to ghost stories throughout his career and treated the form seriously, using it for social observation as much as for fright, which is part of why the best of them still land. Reading them together shows how consistent that interest was, and how much of the Victorian ghost story tradition passed through his hands.
What is gathered here:
• Supernatural tales collected from magazines and from longer novels
• Titles including To Be Read at Dusk and The Bagman's Story
• Collaborative pieces written with Wilkie Collins and Elizabeth Gaskell
• A single volume covering Dickens's work in the ghost story form
For readers of Victorian literature, gothic short fiction and classic ghost stories. Stocked by Boipoka.
