"The Signal Man" is a magnificent, tightly focused ghost story. Dickens' charm pervades this mysterious and ominous tale. Various grim events occur but feel somewhat calm - not bloody or appalling, but enthralling and other worldly. Dickens invests the signal-man with education beyond his station. This adds to the credibility of the story as well as impressing the narrator. A must-listen for Dickens fans. An American voice at the request of our listeners.

This is a story from the Classic Ghost Stories collection.

Two short stories by Charles Dickens. 'Mr. Chops' is the story of a remarkable dwarf who once starred in a freak show and has an unrequited love for a fat lady. Having won a lottery, he attempts to enter high society, without success. 'The Signal Man' is a ghost story in which the central character has a premonition of his own death in a railway crash.
