«El guardavías y otras historias de fantasmas» is a collection of ghost stories by Charles Dickens, published by Valdemar in paperback (288 pages).
Dickens here cultivates the Victorian taste for the supernatural: apparitions, crimes and tormented minds. The title story centers on a lonely signalman who lives terrified by apparitions beside a railway tunnel, omens of misfortune; the rest recovers the atmosphere of the fireside oral tale.
The volume brings together thirteen stories. The title story originally appeared as «The Signal-Man» in 1866. It belongs to the El Club Diógenes collection (no. 81).
For readers interested in Dickens's supernatural side and in the Victorian ghost story.
