![]() To give a better overview especially about his numerous literary works, a separate literary biography follows afterwards. The succeeding part of this paper is to introduce you to the life of Charles Dickens by providing a short biography. With the help of those stories similarities and differences will be analysed and typical elements of a ghost story pointed out. In a last step we are eventually going to have a closer look at two of his works - The Signalman and A Madman’s Manuscript. Also, we will focus on the ghost story itself and explain, what reasons made Dickens write such stories and how he actually developed his skills. In this paper we first of all have a flashback on Dickens’ life and works. Dickens’ earliest stories were inset tales in the Pickwick Papers first published in 1837. A Christmas Carol is probably one of his best known ghost stories, but it is, however, not his first. Since having read about Old Marley’s apparitions in A Christmas Carol we have been fascinated by Dickens’ way of creating suspense and a ghost-like atmosphere. ![]() I do no know whether a man or a woman But who is that one on the other side of you? ![]() Who is the third who walks always beside you?

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I’m not going to talk about the plot because everything means more if you don’t know about it ahead of time. In One With You, Gideon and Eva’s relationship are unbreakable and they’ve fought the looming dangers and threats together. ![]() Most of the time, the hero and heroine go through a lot of dramas that would cause problem between their relationships but eventually would be resolved.Not in this case. And that was such a refreshing thing to read. A powerful couple who love, support and trust each other completely and unconditionally. Fighting not with each other but for each other. In this book, Gideon and Eva are stronger than ever. It all culminated in this wonderful conclusion of their story. All of the ups and downs that they’ve been through throughout the 4 books made them better. Any doubts I had about Gideon and Eva were completely assuaged in One With You. If you’re one of those people that have read the first three books and have reservations of it becoming a series, I am telling you now that this finale made it all worth it. But from just reading a few chapters, Gideon and Eva have found a special place in my heart and now Sylvia Day gave them the most beautiful, healing, loving, amazing ending. Wow! What a journey this entire series has been. When I first picked Bared To You in 2012, I didn’t have any expectation and I never thought it would meant so much to me. ![]() ![]() ![]() With clever narration alternating between the cats and their owners, She and Her Cat offers a unique and sly commentary on human foibles and our desire for connection.
