저자 정보

Charles Dickens (1812–1870) was an English writer and social critic, renowned for his keen observation of character and society. His novels have celebrated immense popularity during his lifetime and have never lost their acclaim, remaining perennial favourites in literary canon. Best known for his vivid characters and depictions of Victorian life, Dickens's keen eye for detail and wit made him one of the most influential writers in the English language. 'Spooky Christmas: 30+ Supernatural & Eerie Tales' may not be among his most famous works like 'A Christmas Carol,' 'Great Expectations,' or 'Oliver Twist,' yet it showcases Dickens's fascination with the supernatural, a theme that he often weaved into his writings, albeit more famously in his ghostly novella that forever changed the way Christmas was celebrated. Dickens's literary style involves a combination of humor, satire, and pathos. His stories often highlight the harsh conditions of the poor and the social stratification that existed in Victorian England. By appealing to the reader's sense of morality and emotions, Dickens not only entertained but also brought attention to important societal issues of his time.
