The Signalman

Charles Dickens

CATEGORY: Audiobook, Classics, Thriller, Ghost Story | Author: Charles Dickens | Narrator: Chris Coxon | Length : 0h31m | Released: 2021

One of Dickens' best loved short stories, The Signalman is the mysterious tale of a railway worker haunted by premonitions of disaster. The titular signalman works on a remote and forbidding part of the line, and finds himself with an unexpected visitor in the form of a tourist (the story’s narrator), but the travelling man is not the only stranger the signalman encounters at his post. Part supernatural horror and part phycological thriller, this entertaining short is a paragon of the Victorian ghost story. First published in Mugby Junction, 1866.
