The Signalman

Charles Dickens

Title: The Signalman 
Author: Charles Dickens 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1866 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series Placement: Number 50 in the Timeless Terrors series 
Description: 
The Signalman is Charles Dickens’ taut and haunting meditation on fear, fate, and the limits of human perception. Set along a lonely railway cutting, the story follows a traveler who encounters a signalman tormented by a mysterious, foreboding apparition. Their conversation gradually reveals a chilling vision of impending tragedy, as the signalman struggles against forces beyond his comprehension. 
Blending Gothic suspense with psychological tension, Dickens transforms a seemingly simple ghost story into a darkly reflective exploration of isolation, dread, and the uncanny ways in which warning signs are often ignored. Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance captures both the quiet unease and mounting terror of Dickens’ narrative — a world where the ordinary and the supernatural intersect in subtle but unforgettable ways. 
While the text 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 and uncanny, The Signalman endures as one of Dickens’ most suspenseful and psychologically intense short stories — a tale of foreboding that lingers long after the final words.
