Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Charles Dickens was born in 1812 near Portsmouth where his father was a clerk in the navy pay office. The family moved to London in 1823, but their fortunes were severely impaired. Dickens was sent to work in a blacking-warehouse when his father was imprisoned for debt. Both experiences deeply affected the future novelist. In 1833 he began contributing stories to newspapers and magazines, and in 1836 started the serial publication of Pickwick Papers. Thereafter, Dickens published his major novels over the course of the next twenty years, from Nicholas Nickleby to Little Dorrit. He also edited the journals Household Words and All the Year Round. Dickens died in June 1870.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book for people who enjoy reading about the paranormal.

I enjoy reading about the paranormal. Sometimes with tongue in cheek depending on the stories and how well written. These stories were excellent and told with little explanation, you could use your own judgment. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys haunting stories.

The Haunted House (in two chapters)

All I can say is thank goodness the editors didn’t print all eight chapters of this Victorian monstrosity. This story does indeed contain a haunted house and some mildly frightening scenes, but I think the author was on auto-pilot when he wrote it. It just goes on and on and on.

The narrator rents a dilapidated old house then assembles a party of friends and acquaintances to determine whether it is truly haunted: “I then recounted the floating rumours concerning the hooded lady, the owl, and Master B.; with others, still more filmy, which had floated about during our occupation, relative to some ridiculous old ghost of the female gender who went up and down, carrying the ghost of a round table; and also to an impalpable Jackass, whom nobody was ever able to catch.”

The Trial for Murder

This story about a jury foreman who can see the ghost of the murdered victim does wander on a bit, but it is grimly atmospheric and has an unexpected twist at the end.

The Signal-Man

“The Signal-Man” is probably the most anthologized of Dickens’ ghost stories. It takes place down in the deep trench of an underground railway line where the signal-man sees a ghost that tries to warn him of some impending doom.

Good deal (its often free on kindle) for readers interested in sampling short stories from Dickens. Not as scary as most recent ghost stories I’ve read. And of course if you find Dickens’ sentences wordy or overly complex, you won’t like this collection. But you knew that, right?

Charles Dickens' body of work is s extensive and so varied it is not surprising that this trilogy of the supernatural flavored ghost stories is a departure from his novels .Because his sentence structure is wordy and complex in contrast to that in more common use today , more than a century and a half later , the reader has to persist n wanting to sample these three tales .

I didn't find these stories spooky or scary as I had expected. I think it could have been if it was written in a more natural and current English but his style is just too formal to be scary

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Short Ghost Stories
Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2016

This was a good collection of ghost stories, although I think the best one was the second, about the member of the jury who's haunted by the murder victim. The first story started out interesting (people knowingly taking on a "haunted" house), then became a little too weird. The third story involves a railway signalman with a recurring and disturbing premonition. Definitely worth a read, especially if your only previous experience with Dickens is Great Expectations.
