A Christmas Carol — Stave One: Marley’s Ghost

Welcome to the beginning of Dreamspace Studio’s winter tradition — a fully narrated, human-voiced reading of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.

This episode brings you Stave One: Marley’s Ghost, recorded with warmth, intention, and care (and yes, a cup of tea on the desk). This is Dickens the way it’s meant to be experienced: human breath, human pacing, human emotion — not an AI voice in sight.

In this chapter, we meet Ebenezer Scrooge in all his miserly frost, watch Fred try to thaw him with joy, and witness the haunting arrival of Jacob Marley, rattling chains and warnings from beyond.

Each Stave will release throughout December, alongside behind-the-scenes notes, commentary, and Dreamspace reflections for subscribers.

Settle in. Light a candle. Enter the fog-drenched streets of Victorian London and let the story begin.
