Explanation

The indefinite article "a" is used before singular countable nouns to refer to something non-specific or unknown. "A dark, dreary night": This describes any dark and dreary night, not a specific one. Therefore, "a" is appropriate here because the speaker is referring to a night that is dark and dreary in a general sense.
