Set in Victorian England, the story follows the protagonist, Redlaw, a chemistry professor who is haunted by a ghost. The ghost offers Redlaw a peculiar bargain to erase all memories of his past sorrows and regrets in exchange for the same gift to those around him. Initially, Redlaw is enticed by the idea of freeing himself from his painful memories, but he soon discovers that the ghosts gift has unintended consequences.

Ultimately, the novella emphasizes the value of personal growth and the necessity of embracing ones full range of experiences, including the painful ones, to truly understand and connect with others. | Charles Dickens The Haunted Man & the Ghost's Bargain Paperback Book
