The Story of the Goblins Who Stole a Sexton, by Charles Dickens

The Christmas Creepies series continues with a tale of graveyards and goblins! Gravedigger Gabriel Grub simply yearns for peace away from the frolicking and merriment of Christmastime in the abbey town. But when he tries to take solace in digging a grave, his night takes a turn for the ghoulish.

Pour a mug of something black and curl up for a cozy tale of punishment and remorse.
