review 1: Always in the run up to Halloween and Christmas, I find myself reaching for Dickens and this year is no different. This is a charming short story told from the point of view of an eavesdropper listening in on five couriers recounting ghost stories. It starts with what, for me, is one of the best descriptions of a beautiful sunset over the snow capped mountains of Switzerland. I would have liked the stories told by the couriers to have more substance, but a short story is a short story. There is little depth to this, but reading this alone for the first time in the dark gave the story the required chilling ambience. As the title commands thee; to be read at dusk.
review 2: This was a short story that was kind of weird at first. It follows a guy who is sitting ou... moret alone but listening in on some mens conversation who is near by. They begin to tell a stories of something quite weird. You listen and they are kind of creepy and scary. It is descently written and is a neat little story. I gave it 3 stars because it was difficult to follow in some places but once I got to the end I was like: ooohhh I get it. It was a cool read and one I don't regret. less
