Product details

The Haunted House is a collection of short stories published in 1859, “Conducted by Charles Dickens”, featuring contributions from six authors, including Dickens himself. The book is an anthology of connected stories, with three written by Dickens and three by other notable Victorian writers.

Story Structure The narrative revolves around a haunted country retreat, where a group of friends gather on Christmas Eve to investigate paranormal activity. Each friend is assigned a room in the house, and as the night unfolds, they share their experiences of ghostly encounters. The stories are framed by Dickens’ opening and closing segments, with contributions from Elizabeth Gaskell, Wilkie Collins, Hesba Stretton, George Augustus Sala, and Adelaide Anne Procter.

Key Features

  • Dickensian themes: The book explores quintessential Victorian themes, such as sex and longing, nostalgia and loss, in a way that continues to resonate today.
  • Ingenious conception: The anthology is cleverly structured, with each author’s story building upon the previous one, creating a sense of continuity and cohesion.
  • Dickensian humor: The book is “spiked with flashes of Dickensian humor”, adding a touch of wit and whimsy to the eerie atmosphere.
