Interest in supernatural phenomena was high during Charles Dickens'
lifetime. He had always loved a good ghost story himself,
particularly at Christmas time, and was open-minded, willing to
accept, and indeed put to the test, the existence of spirits. His
natural inclinations toward drama and the macabre made him a
brilliant teller of ghost tales, and in the twenty stories
presented here, which include his celebrated A Christmas Carol, the
full range of his gothic talents can be seen. Chilling as some of
these stories are, Dickens has managed to inject characteristically
grotesque comedy as he writes of revenge, insanity, pre-cognition
and dream visions, he indulges also in some debunking of
contemporary credulity.
