The Signalman

Description

First published in 1866 for a special Christmas issue ofAll the Year Round, Charles DickensThe Signalmanhas since fallen into obscurity. An eerie story of isolation, dread and supernatural visitation, this book is a small treasure, meant to be read aloud on a cold, dark winter night.PRAISE FOR THE CHRISTMAS GHOST STORIES SERIESI just bought my set of these and they are PERFECT. I hope they do these every year. Patton OswaltI perused nay, let me say devoured four of the booklets in a night, and although I was in the security of my own domicile, ensconced in a favorite chair, these ghost stories for Christmas, as they are advertised, left me in quite the state of perturbation. Had I any hair remaining upon my pate, I daresay it would have been standing on end.
