  "The Signal-Man" is a first-person 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 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. The signalman's work is at a signal-box in a deep cutting near a tunnel entrance on a lonely stretch of the railway line, and he controls the movements of passing trains. When there is danger, his fellow signalmen alert him by telegraph and alarms. Three times, he receives phantom warnings of danger when his bell rings in a fashion that only he can hear. Each warning is followed by the appearance of the spectre, and then by a terrible accident.

  Title: August Heat 
  Author: W. F. Harvey 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1910 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Number 35 in the Timeless Terrors series 
  Description: 
  August Heat by W. F. Harvey is a study in fate and foreboding — a story where coincidence feels like prophecy and the ordinary turns quietly terrifying. On a blistering summer afternoon, an artist sketches the image of a man destined for death. By chance, or by something darker, he meets that very man soon after — and together they face a future that may already be set in stone. 
  Harvey’s understated masterpiece captures the dread of inevitability without a single ghost or monster. Its horror lies in what cannot be changed — the creeping sense that destiny is real, and that some meetings are written long before they occur. 
  Narrated by Amazon bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance evokes the suffocating heat, the weight of coincidence, and the chill of realization that closes around both men. While the text itself is in the public domain, this narration is an original performance and copyright © 2025 Jonathan Dunne. 
  Part of Timeless Terrors, a series devoted to resurrecting the masters of the macabre, August Heat stands as a haunting reminder that true terror needs no apparition — only time, silence, and the certainty of what must come.
