Charles Dickens: Best Ghost Stories published by Wordsworth Classics: Book Review (Scripted)
Video version of an old post (as I explained about HERE)
For the original post, see:

Apologies for the abrupt ending. The video camera I'm using automatically shuts off after 30 minutes, so sometimes I get cut off abruptly. In this case, I was in the middle of trying to illustrate how long and wordy Dickens' preambles can be, and I was still reading the preamble when I got cut off.
The stories collected in this anthology are as follows:
1. The Queer Chair
2. A Madman’s Manuscript
3. The Goblins who Stole a Sexton
4. The Ghosts of the Mail
5. The Baron of Grogzwig
6. A Christmas Carol
7. The Haunted Man and the Ghost’s Bargain
8. To be Read at Dusk
9. The Ghost in the Bride’s Chamber
10. The Haunted House
11. Trial for Murder
12. The Signalman
