The Haunted House by Charles Dickens - Full Audiobook | Ghost Stories

[@joycebowen8958]

I am glad someone can see good quality in lesser known books by authors that are "over done"by the audio book channels. I would like to see you do "The washer woman" by Hans Christian Andersen. Fantastic narrator.

[@classicaudiobookswithelliot]

Really kind of you, Joyce! Thanks for listening 📚🎧

Many thanks, Nick!

Very enjoyable. Your light tones ease us into the detail common in Dickens' tales , that we are unused to in modern writing . And so good to hear..as was originally the usual way of encountering his works, stories outside the usual clutch. I look firward to listening to your past other and future offerings.

Thank you for uploading this interesting story. It's not one that I had even heard of before, and it embraces an unexpected range of moods. I'm familar with Dickens' comically grotesque ghost stories, of the 'Gabriel Grubb' variety, and his serious, straightforward ghost stories, such as 'The Signalman', but this moved from entertainingly-presented everyday life to ...well, I had better say no more, for fear of 'spoilers'. The reader is truly excellent, and a pleasure to listen to.

[@classicaudiobookswithelliot]

Yes absolutely, more of an introspective look at ghosts perhaps! Thanks so much for listening ❤️

This and The Chimes are so overlooked over A Christmas Carol and that's a great shame.Thank you for posting.

[@classicaudiobookswithelliot]

Haven’t got round to working on The Chimes as of yet, but it’s certainly on my list. Perhaps next Christmas!

[@virgilflowers9846]

I agree, I love The Chimes. I read it every few years around New Years. This one is fantastic as well

[@Boogie_the_cat]

Thank you for this upload of an interesting story by a great author. I love a classic haunted house story. I just don't find enjoyment in the popular "creepypasta" of today. It just tries too hard, and is too amateur-ish for my tastes. I'm 42 and have been reading all my life, so I have no taste for drivel. I'm sure there exist somewhere some good "pasta", but i can't be bothered to sift thru the dustbin just to find a sixpence. Okay, rant over. Dickens had a golden sense of humor that never fails to tickle me with hilarious situations and peculiar characters. Thank you for this quality audiobook. I much enjoy your narration style and cadence. You have a good grasp of your material. New subscriber, excited to have found this gem of a channel. I wish you the best of luck with your channels success.

[@classicaudiobookswithelliot]

Many thanks for your kind words! It’s true, there’s a certain pantomime element to the real gothic stories of this era that has been somewhat replaced with gore. But I’m looking forward to finding many more stories such as these!

[@outlawJosieFox]

​@@classicaudiobookswithelliot All that stuff about the Bank of England flooding the country with bank notes sounds like Dickens may have been talking about real current events. Is this the case? Do you know? New subscriber. Liked and shared ❤

[@classicaudiobookswithelliot]

You’re very welcome, it was a pleasure to read ❤️

[@thelastpilot4582]

Hard to believe that this was penned by the same hand as that wonderful story "The Signalman". I struggled to force myself to stay to the end and when I reached it I wished I had not bothered. Beautifully read but not worth the read.

[@classicaudiobookswithelliot]

Yes, so different from “The Signalman”, which you can also hear on this channel! This is more of a circumspection into what kind of ghosts live inside of us all and the effect that has. Dickens uses the same technique in “A Christmas Carol” to wonderful effect. Thanks for listening ❤️

[@rheinhartsilvento2576]

I have to agree. It tried my patience sorely. Probably was not in the mood for this kind of rambling, chatty, gently humorous kind of story. Unfortunately it irritated me😁. But- a wonderful narrator🙏

[@scathatch]

I throughly enjoyed it. Less melodramatic than the signalman but no less enjoyable for that. Also interesting to hear one of Dicken's lesser known stories.

[@FreeBird-111]

Well said. My thoughts exactly. However, I decided to bail half way through. This story was a tree sprouting many branches, but never reaching any height. Kind of resembles the modern day soap opera. My apologies soap opera fans. Anyhow, thanks for posting and Happy Holidays to all.

[@classicaudiobookswithelliot]

Thanks Ann! Glad you enjoyed

[@evelanpatton]

I agree with you about the murder of crows. 🐦‍⬛I used to live in a valley below Mt. Rainier that was traditionally a agriculturally prolific location, due to the silts & volcano ash that fed the land with abundant health, so the deciduous trees were over 75-100’ tall; & these beautiful trees would house hundreds of crows that would fly across the valley, nesting at dusk. Once I even had the pleasure to witness a few flying over my head, and they were so close, I could hear their wings’ beat. It was magical. I love going back to see their majesty of flight when I am there. 🐦‍⬛🌳🐦‍⬛🍃🐦‍⬛🪺🐦‍⬛🌳🐦‍⬛🌳🐦‍⬛

[@andyfield7397]

@@classicaudiobookswithelliot my personal favourite is The Signalman but this has been done a lot. Timeshift stories are quite fun along the lines of 'Tom' s Midnight Garden' Bitesized Classics (Simon Stanhope) covers a lot of the Victorian stuff and is very good, but there is plenty of room for other readers as they are all very enjoyable to us out here in youtubeland.

[@er6730]

Am I correct in thinking that this is a story where there's a collection of stories inside it? Perhaps each person has a haunting experience? That's the only way I can make sense of this reading. It feels like the beginning is there, and part of the middle, but no conclusion. Please read the rest of it, I've been enjoying it, but now feel jarred by the missing bit, like descending a staircase and stumbling onto the floor two steps before I expected it.

Thanks for listening, Delaney! This is a really unusual project from Dickens as it seems inspired by the traditional gothic horror tales, but ultimately is a story of redemption, as most Dickens’ shorts tend to be. Appreciate you looking through the repertoire ❤️
