Well, it's Dickens Season again (like Duck Season only different). 
This time, we're taking a look at The Chimes wherein we find that both the rich -  like Scrooge in an earlier work - and the poor like Toby Veck get haunted during the holiday season but for different reasons. Also, despite my cheating a bit and bringing this video out in time for Christmas, it is actually a Dickens New Year story, probably for thematic reasons.

In case you're interested in the art and artists from whom I cribbed many notes in the making of this video, feel free to check out the animated clay version of The Chimes:

Thanks for visiting the channel. 
I am something of an antisocial eccentric, but I am actively trying to be more of a blessing than a curse to my fellow writers.
