Publisher Description

El guardavías (The Signal-Man) es un relato de terror escrito por Charles Dickens y publicado en diciembre de 1866 en la revista literaria All the Year Round, dirigida y fundada por Dickens. El relato mezcla terror y elegancia y demuestra que pueden ir de la mano. Se trata de un cuento de terror clásico, sin variantes en la trama, aunque el verdadero talento del autor es el contraste que nos crea con la tranquilidad de pausas y llanos apacibles, y luego nos sacude con el horror psicológico que atormenta a sus personajes protagonistas. Aunque Dickens está considerado como un escritor realista, sus obras están plagadas de entes fantasmales y macabros, así como desarrolladas en ambientes sobrenaturales. Está ambientado en el portal del túnel de Clayton, West Sussex, Inglaterra y fue inspirado por dos accidentes de trenes: el primero, un choque en este túnel, el 25 de agosto de 1861;1​ el segundo, un descarrilamiento en Staplehurst de un tren donde viajaba el propio Dickens, el 9 de junio de 1865. Este audiolibro cuenta, además de la narración, con diferentes efectos de sonido y canciones, utilizando una edición cuidada, llena de estímulos, para introducirte en esta fascinante historia de la manera más original, terrorífica y cautivadora posible.
