Ebenezer Scrooge Ghost Hunter expands the original text of Charles Dicken’s classic with all-new scenes of malicious ghosts, soul devouring wraiths, deadly doppelgangers and other terrors from the netherworld. Our story opens seven years after Marley’s violent death. Ebenezer Scrooge has given up ghost hunting and embraced an inevitable slow death by alcohol poisoning. When the spectre of his deceased partner appears to him on Christmas Eve, Scrooge learns that he must face three Ghosts – one who will try to help him, one who will try to harm him and one that cannot be killed.
In a story that spans a lifetime of torment, Scrooge must face the demons of his past and his failures in the present in order to prevent the horror that is his future. The stakes for Scrooge’s soul have never been higher than in this wicked retelling of the classic, A Christmas Carol.
Ebenezer Scrooge Ghost Hunter edition by Jaqueline Kyle Charles Dickens Literature Fiction eBooks
The concept was quite original --- retelling Dickens' A CHRISTMAS CAROL with the premise that Scrooge and Marley actually had a clandestine second career as ghost hunters.The early part of EBENEZER SCROOGE: GHOST HUNTER is nearly verbatim to the source with highly imaginative splicing-in of various passages that allude to the Ghost Hunting. This gets especially interesting with Marley and the Three Ghosts Of Christmas pay their visits. The only issue is the story loses it's foothold about half-way through and goes off on tangents that do not even closely resemble the original.
However, this is worth a read merely out of curiosity and if you really, really love A CHRISTMAS CAROL.

Ebenezer Scrooge Ghost Hunter edition by Jaqueline Kyle Charles Dickens Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
From what I understand, Ebenezer Scrooge Ghost Hunter blends Charles Dickens' original work with author Jaqueline Kyle's imagining of a completely different sort of background for Scrooge. He was still an insufferable jerk in the beginning, treating everyone with disdain and contempt. This is still the reason that Marley visits him, as do the ghosts of past, present, and future. Mention of the ghost hunting was a little sparse at first and I wasn't sure if it was really going to work with the story. It definitely works though, and brilliantly. It gave Marley a much different, more pitiful (and gruesome) death and put quite the spin on the cause of Tiny Tim's health problems. There was certainly more action than I expected and I liked that it introduced a mythological creature that I wasn't familiar with.
Having not read the original, I had no idea which lines were Dickens' creations and which were Kyle's, which I think is a testament to her writing ability. It would be so hard to incorporate your own ideas into a book written by another author and make it blend to the point where the reader can't tell that it was given life by two different people, but she pulled it off.
Whether you are a fan of A Christmas Carol or not, Ebenezer Scrooge Ghost Hunter adds a fascinating supernatural twist that breathes new life into the classic tale and I think it will appeal to a wide variety of people. While some parts of the story changed, the overall message of goodwill and kindness remains. I thoroughly enjoyed this retelling.
I started reading Ebenezer Scrooge Ghost Hunter this morning. I finished it about half an hour ago.Once started, I stopped only for dinner.
I received a pdf of this book one, in exchange for an honest review of the work, but also two, because I am a true lover of the Christmas Carol/Scrooge story in any form.
I was interested in what appeared to be a completely new take on the Dickens classic. It surpassed my expectations. Ms Kyle, who is not the most interesting man in the world (see her bio), did a fantastic job of interweaving whole new dimensions into the characters of the original. She integrates a complete new storyline so flawlessly that early on I contemplated getting out my copy of the original to compare. I could not be sure where Dickens' prose ended and Kyles' began. She kept the tone, flow, and language of the story beautifully.
The characters came alive in new ways. To me, Scrooge became a more sympathetic person in this telling. I own several different video version of A Christmas Carol and/or Scrooge, and as any fan of the story knows, each have little differences that make their version unique without altering the fundamental story. Jaqeuline Kyle wove many of these little details into her version (I assume on purpose) which I found pleasing. It tells me she was dedicated to using the whole "legend" of Scrooge to craft her story.
All in all I found Ebenezer Scrooge Ghost Hunter to be well written, respectful to the classic original, and thoroughly entertaining.
Thank you Jaqueline Kyle for allowing me to be among the first to read your book.

One might think that Dickens’ classic tale featuring the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future could not be rewritten further; especially with the addition of movies like Scrooged and The Muppet Christmas Carol. One would be wrong though, because Jaqueline Kyle has taken this timeless story and brought it into the 21st century by adding a seemingly never-before-used plot twist.
What if Scrooge and his partner, Jacob Marley, were in fact actual ghost hunters? What if, in trying to rid the world of ethereal and oftentimes evil beings, they themselves became so caught up in the ‘hunt’ that they forgot to live the lives they were originally intended to? How does fate resolve that?
One could argue and say that Scrooge had no excuse to become such a loveless person – after all, Jacob Marley had been dead for seven long years...
Ah, but what if Scrooge's heart wasn’t filled with monetary greed? What if it was actually filled with bitterness and cynicism over knowing the truth of what the world really is? And an understanding of why his partner really died? How then does fate deal with this aspect? How does destiny alter a man's life choices – when the reality of those actions are based wholly upon irrefutable facts? Why, you send in the unhappy ghost of his partner followed by the three infamous Christmas spirits, of course!
With that shared, you'll need to read Ebenezer Scrooge Ghost Hunter for yourself to see how it all plays out.
In summary though, Ebenezer Scrooge Ghost Hunter was a well-written and fast-paced read with a quirky plot probably not envisioned by Dickens when he originally penned this tale. A fun story; and if you enjoy the paranormal and/or spooky ghost stories than Ebenezer Scrooge Ghost Hunter is not to be missed.
