About the Book
In this unnerving masterpiece of atmosphere and compression, Charles Dickens turns from social realism to metaphysical dread, crafting a story that prefigures both Freud's uncanny and the mechanized anxieties of the modern age.Book Synopsis
A solitary railway signalman, stationed in a desolate cutting, begins to see a ghostly figure near the tunnel--each appearance heralding catastrophe. When a traveler stops to hear his story, the line between reason and forewarning blurs, and the tale gathers its terrible inevitability.
