In the Vault by H. P. Lovecraft

A careless undertaker finds himself locked inside a crypt overnight—and not alone. As he scrambles to escape, he unwittingly disturbs forces that should never be roused. Lovecraft mixes dark humor with creeping horror in this tale of revenge from beyond the grave. Though more grounded than his cosmic stories, In the Vault delivers a chilling moral lesson. It’s a grim reminder that even the dead can hold grudges.
