Great short story and narrator.

A very good short story read by a wonderful narrator. Stephen Critchlow’s talents makes this a story to be heard rather then read.

WOW

I picked up this for under 2 bucks because I'm a huge Charles Dickens reader. I was pleasantly surprised to find something which was a break from his long works without missing any of his wit and skill. I listened to it three straight times. It was well worth it.
Nice narration as well.

Ghost story.

If you think Charles Dickens only wrote one ghost story. Christmas Carrol. You would be wrong. The Signal Man is a great ghost story. It has a great surprise ending.
