SETTLE DOWN WITH SUCHET FOR THE FRIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

CHARLES DICKENS GHOST STORIES

- 

NIGHTMARE NARRATOR Suchet

Here to make your flesh creep for the festive countdown are seven of Dickens' spookiest stories, narrated with relish by Sir David Suchet.

The Poirot star gets the ball rolling with two-parter A Christmas Carol, presenting the 1843 classic as the author loved to tell it - Dickens abridged this snappy version for his moneymaking book tours of Britain, Ireland and America, which turned him into a literary rock star.

Imagine Beatlemania, but with top hats, petticoats and smelling salts.
