Charles Dickens' "The Signalman": Effectiveness As A Ghost Story

Abstract: 5 pages in length. Like many authors, Charles Dickens drew from his own life experiences as a means by which to tell his tales. Indeed, his works represent a collection of personal episodes, encounters and introspection as encountered by one of the literary world's most respected authors; however, when it came to his ghost stories, he drew inspiration from a deep and inventive imagination. The writer discusses how Dickens' use of mystery, suspense and creation of tension helps to represent "The Signalman" as an effective ghost story. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
