Goblin Tales

A vengeful ghost trapped in a goblin's ear... a flaming spider who must help stop a goddess from conquering a science fiction convention... a goblin nursery worker who finds herself trapped in the middle of a war. This collection features five humorous short stories that explore the fantasy realm from the perspective of the lowest of the low, the unlikeliest of unheroes: the goblins.
