About this book
"The Signalman: Two Ghost Stories" retells two of Charles Dickens' classic ghost tales for middle grade readers. "The Signalman" follows a railway worker in a remote English valley who is haunted by a mysterious specter that appears before tragic accidents. "The Portrait Painter" tells of an artist who discovers a supernatural secret hidden within a painting he creates. Both stories are set in Victorian England and feature eerie, suspenseful atmospheres typical of Dickens' gothic tales.
