Ghost Stories brings together all of Charles Dickens' chilling tales of the supernatural – twenty haunting stories of coincidence, insanity, and revenge.
Illustrated by various artists and with an afterword by David Stuart Davies, this collection is part of the Macmillan Collector's Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket-sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover.
Even in his first successful work, The Pickwick Papers, you will find five ghost stories, all of which are included in this volume. Dickens began the tradition of 'the ghost story at Christmas', and many of his tales in this genre are presented here, including the brilliant novella 'The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain', which deserves to be as well-known as A Christmas Carol.
While all his supernatural tales aim to send a shiver down the spine, they are not without the usual traits of Dickens' flamboyant style: his subtle wit, biting irony, humorous incidents and moral observations. It is a mixture that makes these stories fascinating and entertaining as well as unsettling. To paraphrase Joe in The Pickwick Papers: Charles Dickens 'wants to make your flesh creep'.
