CLASSIC TALES OF DRAMA AND DEATH FROM THE MASTER OF CHRISTMAS GHOST STORIES

A Dickens of a fright night

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

The Poirot star gets the ball rolling with A Christmas Carol two-parter, 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.
