Short and concise. A ghost story that comes full circle. I enjoy Dickens' simple writing style. The story was eerie and slightly unsettling, and I liked it

I’ve read this story before, but it was so long ago, I’d mostly forgotten the effective ending. The story’s atmosphere is enhanced even further by Seth’s illustrations.

Gorgeous Galley Beggar Press edition, not his most thrilling ghost story.
