A review by natniss
The Haunted House by Charles Dickens

2.0

Like some other readers, I expected this to be a collection of ghost stories and to be frightening. It is neither. Once I realised this I tried to enjoy the stories in their own right but I simply couldn't get on with any of them. They are bizarre and quite unpleasant and the strangely upbeat final chapter felt entirely at odds with the rest to me. I've always struggled with Dickens and this hasn't helped to sway me.
