Creepy Christmas

About Creepy Christmas

Two of the finest tales of terror at Christmas, by two of the world's finest authors. Dickens mixes up grotesque comedy and genuine chills in The Story of the Goblins who Stole a Sexton, while Robert Louis Stevenson conjures up truly haunting physical and metaphysical terrors in the dark and Dostoevskian Markheim. Come along and get goosebumps on your goosebumps!
