The Haunted House — Charles Dickens

The Haunted House is a classic horror tale written by Charles Dickens. On Christmas Eve, a party of friends descends on a purportedly haunted country retreat, charged with the task of discovering evidence of the supernatural. Sequestered in their rooms for the holiday, the friends reconvene on Twelfth Night at a great feast and share their stories of spectral encounter. “Conducted” by Charles Dickens, The Haunted House examines quintessentially Victorian themes�"sex and longing, nostalgia and loss�"in ways that continue to resonate today. Ingeniously conceived and written, and spiked with flashes of Dickensian humor, this volume is a strange and sheer delight.
