The Haunted House »

Charles Dickens is probably the greatest novelist England ever produced. His innate comic genius and shrewd depictions of Victorian life -- along with his memorable characters -- have made him beloved by readers the world over. In Dickens' books live some of the most repugnant villains in literature, as well as some of the most likeable (and unlikely) heroes.

An ingenious, multi-authored tale of the supernatural, The Haunted House is a testament to Charles Dickens' comic touch. "Conducted" by Dickens and featuring various members of the London literati, including Elizabeth Gaskell and Wilkie Collins, The Haunted House takes on the genre of the ghost story - but leaves the reader with something very much more unusual.
