“Marley was dead, to begin with.” Well, mostly…
What if the events of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol happened by accident?
When Jacob Marley is released from his seven-year purgatory, he accidentally joins an afterlife support group populated by history and literature's most recognisable spirits. A festive competition to see who can stage the best haunting soon gets wildly out of hand, setting in motion a host of literary hauntings and leading one miserly businessman towards an entirely unintended redemption. While Marley and the three Christmas Spirits focus their efforts on the stubborn Ebeneezer Scrooge, other ghosts begin pursuing unfinished business of their own, with consequences that ripple across literature itself.
From castle battlements and Scottish battlefields to Victorian parlours and shadowy opera houses, Marley Was Dead uncovers the secret origins of literature’s most famous hauntings
We all know why Scrooge was haunted – but what was in it for the ghosts?
