Charles Dickens

Charles Dickens (1812-1870) was an English writer and social critic. Regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era, Dickens had a prolific collection of works including fifteen novels, five novellas, and hundreds of short stories and articles. The term “cliffhanger endings” was created because of his practice of ending his serial short stories with drama and suspense. Dickens’ political and social beliefs heavily shaped his literary work. He argued against capitalist beliefs, and advocated for children’s rights, education, and other social reforms. Dickens advocacy for such causes is apparent in his empathetic portrayal of lower classes in his famous works, such as The Christmas Carol and Hard Times.

Three short ghost story from Charles Dickens. Not too scary by today's standards but an entertaining read nonetheless.

This was a short story that was kind of weird at first. It follows a guy who is sitting out alone but listening in on some mens conversation who is near by. They begin to tell a stories of something quite weird. You listen and they are kind of creepy and scary. It is descently written and is a neat little story. I gave it 3 stars because it was difficult to follow in some places but once I got to the end I was like: ooohhh I get it. It was a cool read and one I don't regret.
