Book excerpt: A second helping of fiction with the chilling touch of fear from Charles Dickens The works of Charles Dickens are justifiably famous and timeless classics. His most famous ghostly tale, 'A Christmas Carol' has become THE Christmas ghost story and has been filmed and dramatised for the stage and radio on numerous occasions. It is also well known that Dickens had a particular palate for the fiction of the strange, other worldly and bizarre, indeed there have been collections of his strange and weird tales published in the past. This special Leonaur collection is different containing, perhaps, an unprecedented 35 novellas, novelettes and short stories within two coordinating volumes available in soft cover and hard cover with dust jackets. This second volume of Dickens fiction of the bizarre and ghostly contains two novellas, 'The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain' and 'The Cricket on the Hearth, ' two novelettes, 'The Haunted House' and the highly regarded, 'The Chimes' and ten shorter pieces including 'The Ghost of the Brides Chamber.' 'The Ghosts of the Mail.' 'To be read at dusk.' 'The Queer Client.' 'Trial for Murder' and more equally gripping tales that contribute to what is, perhaps, one of the most comprehensive collections of Dickens' strange fiction ever published.
