About this audiobook
It is 1860. A female reporter is drawn into a railroad signal man’s haunted, frenzied hallucinations.
Are the terrors he experiences a form of insanity or a frightening shade of reality? Are his blood-curdling nightmares simply coincidence—or omens of horror to come?
This full-cast dramatization recreates Charles Dickens’s Victorian industrial world of steam trains, ephemeral music, sunsets over desolate landscapes, and figures glimpsed just beyond the embankments. Descend into the darker side of the supernatural in The Signal-Man.
