The Signalman

Ghostly signals foretell doom, personal Dickensian tale.

"The Signalman" isn't just a plunge into the supernatural; it's a journey through psychological turmoil wrapped in the eerie and the uncanny. If you're drawn to the classic spine-tingling narratives that delve into personal hauntings and foreboding premonitions, this Dickens story will send a chill up your spine while also touching on the very human fear of unexplained phenomena. It's a concise masterpiece where every word counts, perfect for a quick yet memorable read.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

When the narrator of Charles Dickens' masterful ghost story 'The Signalman' climbs down into a lonely railway siding on a whim, he finds himself in 'as solitary and dismal a place as ever I saw ... it struck chill to me, as if I had left the natural world.' His misgivings turn out to be justified, for the signalman who lives there has a secret, a ghostly visitor who has twice warned him of impending disaster, and now appears again, foretelling a coming catastrophe that neither man can predict or understand. This volume also contains Dickens' comic gem 'The Boy at Mugby', a rollicking satire on customer service which rings as true today as it did in the author's own time.
