Why Read This? - Charles Dickens - The Signalman

In episode three of Strange Reads 'Why Read This?' series we look at Charles Dickens', The Signalman. Most of us have heard of Charles Dickens and could name many of his novels. However, The Signalman is a delightfully creepy short story that can easily be overlooked. Again, interpretation of the tale's events can lead the reader down a mirky rabbit hole; it's worth discussing.
