"To Be Read at Dusk" by Charles Dickens is a chilling gothic short story set in the late 1800s that dives into mystery, the supernatural, and suspense. Outside a Swiss Alps convent, couriers share spooky stories, leading one to tell of an English bride tormented by a recurring dream of a strange man's face. Her peace is shattered when Signor Dellombra, the spitting image of her dream figure, appears and intensifies her fears, resulting in her vanishing under his spell. The story blurs the line between what's real and what's ghostly, pushing readers to wonder if the events were caused by her state of mind, the possibility of the supernatural, or something more sinister.
