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.Charles Dickens (7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870) is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in the English language. During his lifetime he wrote 15 novels, five novellas, hundreds of short stories and non-fiction articles.
