"e;The Ghost Stories of Charles Dickens"e; is a collection of twenty of Charles Dickens's best ghost stories, including his famous "e;Christmas Carol"e;. A fantastic teller of macabre tales, Dickens presents his full gothic talents in this chilling collection. The stories include: "e;The Queer Chair - The Bagman's Story"e;, "e;A Madman's Manuscript"e;, "e;The Goblins who Stole a Sexton"e;, "e;The Ghosts of the Mail - The Story of The Bagman's uncle"e;, "e;The Baron of Grogzwig"e;, "e;To be Read at Dusk"e;, "e;Ghost in the Bride's Chamber"e;, and more. Charles John Huffam Dickens (1812-1870) was an English writer and social critic famous for having created some of the world's most well-known fictional characters. His works became unprecedentedly popular during his life, and today he is commonly regarded as the greatest Victorian-era novelist. Although perhaps better known for such works as "e;Great Expectations"e; and "e;A Christmas Carol"e;, Dickens first gained success with the 1836 serial publication of "e;The Pickwick Papers"e;, which turned him almost overnight into an international literary celebrity thanks to his humour, satire, and astute observations concerning society and character. This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
