Sir David Suchet Brings Charles Dickens’ Ghost Stories to Life in a Haunting New Noiser Podcast

This winter, Noiser invites listeners to step into the eerie world of Charles Dickens’ Ghost Stories, a brand-new audio drama narrated by the incomparable Sir David Suchet. Across seven haunting short stories, Suchet breathes new life into some of Dickens’ most atmospheric and spine-tingling tales. Faithfully preserved in their original form and retold with Suchet’s trademark gravitas, the series debuts with A Christmas Carol, one of the most enduring and beloved festive tales ever written.

"Dickens’ ghost stories have long held a special place in my heart. A Christmas Carol, with its message of redemption and hope, is one I return to year after year - but his lesser-known tales are just as rich with atmosphere and moral depth. These aren’t merely creepy stories - they’re ghostly reflections of the human soul. To read them aloud at Christmastime is to share in that Victorian tradition of gathering close, letting the candlelight flicker, and listening for the echoes of the past.”

Perhaps best known for his iconic portrayal of Hercule Poirot, Sir David Suchet’s career spans stage, screen, and audio. From Shakespeare to Agatha Christie, his distinctive voice and commanding presence have made him one of Britain’s most celebrated actors.

While A Christmas Carol remains the most famous of Dickens’ ghost stories, you may not be aware of Dickens’ other offerings. In subsequent episodes, listeners can expect tales that explore obsession, guilt, and the supernatural - from a ghost story inspired by a real-life train disaster, to a chilling vision of justice from beyond the grave, and a visit to a sinister Victorian asylum.

In bringing these timeless short stories to life alongside Sir David Suchet, Noiser reaffirms its commitment to showcasing the very best of British talent while reimagining classic literature for a global audience.
