Charles Dickens - The Signalman (New Read)

from Just Reads · host Ed Parnell

"The Signal-Man" is a horror mystery story by Charles Dickens, first published as part of the Mugby Junction collection in the 1866 Christmas edition of All the Year Round. The story is told from a fictional first-person perspective. The railway signal-man of the title tells the narrator of an apparition that has been haunting him. Each spectral appearance precedes a tragic event on the railway on which the signalman works.I re-read this as I felt I could do it better than the previous post.
