Unfortunately, I bailed on this book as it wasn't what I was looking for: a Christmas ghost story. The stories are by a variety of writers with Dickens as the main contributor. There is no haunted house and the “ghost“ stories are stories about regrets, memories, even bad dreams. Christmas is lightly present in the background, but the stories are quite eclectic. I may return some day, but reader beware if you are looking for a Xmas experience! 😥
