I can not give this book more than a 2 star rating, the main reason being this book has nothing to do with a "Haunted House" or any "Ghosts" at all... the name and cover are very misleading, and just a cause of disapointment. (Being a fan of Dikens Christmas stories and Carol)
This however, is a collection of very random short stories by Dikens and his friends. And I feel that Dickens stories are the weaker of these stories too.
There were a couple of semi-intersting tales in there, but none of them really go anywhere and just seem to able along, and then end.
I would not recommend this book, though if you choose to read it anyway, just be aware this is not a tale about a "Haunted House"!
(Oh, and yes, this short book took me over two years to finally finish, as it was a bore)
