It's a surprise bonus episode of Meet Me Graveside! Francine gets in the spooky holiday spirit with "The Ones He Takes," a short story written by Benjamin Percy for the Christmas and Other Horrors anthology. You'll hear the story of a boy who mysteriously disappeared last Christmas and arrived home one year later. What happened to this child? Where was he for a year? And why is Santa so scary in this story?! Listen to find out. Enjoy and happy holidays! Meet Me Graveside is produced and hosted by Francine Rios, with music by Nabeyin.
