Beyond Tiny Tim and Oliver Twist: Discover the Dark Imagination of the Victorian Era's Greatest Storyteller.
Charles Dickens, the undisputed master of Victorian fiction, possessed a genius for the macabre, the mysterious, and the chillingly human. This collection gathers thirteen of his finest supernatural tales, revealing his full gothic talent and his lifelong fascination with the world beyond the veil.
More than mere entertainment, Dickens's ghosts reflect the anxieties and moral failings of his time. He uses the supernatural to expose greed, guilt, and the dark corners of the human heart, creating stories that are as profound as they are unsettling.
This volume includes the essential novella, The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain, a moving and profound Christmas tale where a professor makes a terrible pact to have his painful memories erased only to discover that forgetting grief also means losing the capacity for compassion.
From deeply atmospheric vignettes like To be Read at Dusk and Christmas Ghosts, to insightful moral fables like The Gift Diffused and The Gift Reversed, Dickens transports you to a world where the line between reality and the spectral is constantly blurred.
This edition is complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of Charles Dickens.
A chilling journey into the moral darkness that lies beneath the gaslit streets of Victorian England.
