Summary
Summary
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.

Author Bio: Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens (1812–1870) was born in Landport, Portsmouth, England, the second of eight children in a family continually plagued by debt. A legacy brought release from the nightmare of debtors’ prison and child labor and afforded him a few years of formal schooling. He worked as an attorney’s clerk and newspaper reporter until his early writings brought him the amazing success that was to be his for the remainder of his life. He was the most popular English novelist of the Victorian era, and he remains popular, responsible for some of English literature’s most iconic characters.
