He Showed A Fascination With Ghosts And The Macabre And Was Considered A Master Of This Wonderful Genre. DickensS Natural Inclinations Towards Drama And The Macabre Made Him A Brilliant Teller Of Ghost Tales.Best Ghost Stories Contains 14 Of DickensS Most Interesting Stories, Exhibiting The Full Range Of His Gothic Talents.
