内容提要:
Interest in supernatural phenomena was high during Charles Dickens lifetime. He had always loved a good ghost story himself,particularly at Christmas time,and was open-minded,the existence of spirits.His natural inclinations toward drama and the macabre made him a brilliant teller of ghost tales,and in the twelve stories presented here,which include his celebrated A Christmas Carol,the full range of his gothic talents can be seen.Chilling 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.
