The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain

The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain | Charles Dickens

I listened to 3 versions of the audiobook and chose this one. It is also on sale for two more days for slightly more than the one in my previous post. #whattheDickens @Cuilin

Cuilin Fabulous. I have the short stories in book form. I didn‘t even think to look for this in audio, great information. 19h

It‘s not very expensive to begin with but if you want a deal, this version of the audiobook is on sale for two more days.

so-so

Published 5 years after A Christmas Carol, this is a disappointing addition to Dickens‘ Christmas franchise. It‘s fine but in no way measures up to the splendor, adventure and pathos of his most well known Christmas story. Dickens has an eye for detail when writing people even when the story is a bit weak.

To say, I did enjoy this story .. It was a laugh of strange phenomenons; a bargain to forget a sorrowful loss, rather makes worse conditions, spreading pretty much like a pandemic. In times of harsh poverty, the over-emotional reactions won't help one's health. 😂 This could go with Beckett's mysterious 'Waiting For Godot'.

MayJasper Sounds quite strange 5y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I'm drawn to the person who likes like they're hiding behind the chair on the left. 😆 Do you read a lot of Dickens or is it just for the holiday? 5y

Dan_SpiderCrafts @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I am looking to read all of Dickens stories at some point. 'The Old Curiosity Shop' is a favourite of mine, that had a wild mix of cheery wonders and the dark sides of poverty and survival. A next one sometime on my TBR is 'A Tale of Two Cities'. 5y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I'll have have to check that one out then. I've only read A Christmas Carol but I liked it. It didn't feel bogged down by the stuffy language of the time. I'm going to try a few others, too. 5y

An hour, to 2/3, in 2 readathons .. 😶

I don't know what to say. 😹 While 'A Christmas Carol' is a clearly narrated story, 'The Haunted Man' is one oddity of a flying Christmas adventure. 🍄🎄 Professor Redlaw's ghostly bargain, to forget his sorrows, then spreads frenzied memory loss phenomenas? 😂 I'm totally confused!

TheSpineView 👍🤩📖 5y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick 😆😆If I can fit this one in, I'll give it a go. Sounds interesting. 5y

An hour, in 2 readathons, between 3 long parts of The Haunted Man. This is a Dickens Christmas ghost story that I'm determined to follow, and make sense of. 😹 Every dialogue seems drearily over-excitable! 👻

TheSpineView Sounds good!👍😍😊 5y

Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick Great job! ❤? I'm also loving your description of "drearily over-excitable." 5y
