Haunted House (Fantasy and Horror Classics) e-bog

First published in 1859 for the weekly periodical "e;All the Year Round"e;, "e;The Haunted House"e; is a collection of short stories by Charles Dickens and others, with Dickens writing the opening and closing stories. They include: "e;The Mortals in the House"e; (Charles Dickens), "e;The Ghost in the Clock Room"e; (Hesba Stretton), "e;The Ghost in the Double Room"e; (George Augustus Sala), "e;The Ghost in the Picture Room"e; (Adelaide Anne Procter), "e;The Ghost in the Cupboard Room"e; (Wilkie Collins), "e;The Ghost in Master B's Room"e; (Charles Dickens), "e;The Ghost in the Garden Room"e; (Elizabeth Gaskell), and "e;The Ghost in the Corner Room"e; (Charles Dickens). Charles John Huffam Dickens (1812-1870) was an English writer and social critic famous for having created some of the world's most well-known fictional characters. His works became unprecedentedly popular during his life, and today he is commonly regarded as the greatest Victorian-era novelist. Although perhaps better known for such works as "e;Great Expectations"e; or "e;A Christmas Carol"e;, Dickens first gained success with the 1836 serial publication of "e;The Pickwick Papers"e;, which turned him almost overnight into an international literary celebrity thanks to his humour, satire, and astute observations concerning society and character. This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
