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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChilling 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wordsworth Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/05\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781853267345\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Charles Dickens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36669812736156,"sku":"9781853267345","price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_bcbaa551-1c3e-400d-a1a8-795db6a05f9e.jpg?v=1603921115","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/complete-ghost-stories-9781853267345","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
