Praise for Seth's Christmas Ghost Stories“[This] series of Christmas ghost stories, miniature books chosen and illustrated by the cartoonist Seth . . . [offers] chills—and charm.”—John Williams, New York Times Book Review"An addicting revival of the Victorian-born tradition of reading scary stories at holidays."—Chicago Tribune"Did you know there is an old tradition of telling ghost stories on Christmas Eve? For the past several years Canadian publisher Biblioasis has revived the tradition, one thin, tiny book at a time (illustrated by minimalistic, idiosyncratic cartoonist Seth). They’ve revived ghosts by Edith Wharton, Charles Dickens and others . . . What is, after all, 'A Christmas Carol' but a ghost story, handed down, every holiday?"—Christopher Borrelli, Chicago Tribune“I just bought my set of these and they . . . are . . . PERFECT. I hope they do these every year.”—Patton Oswalt“Each of these tiny books . . . is cleverly illustrated by the cartoonist known as Seth. Even smaller than a Christmas card, they make fun literary stocking stuffers.”—Ron Charles, Washington Post"Complemented by striking full-spread black and white illustrations by Seth, Lady Ferry is about an impressionable young girl’s chance encounter with a 'bent, but very tall and slender' woman who cannot, it seems, die —'a creature who lives forever!'"—Literary Review of Canada"Printed in a stocking-ready size and featuring striking covers and Seth’s distinct illustrations, these are beautiful and uniquely collectible. But of course, none of this matters if the stories don’t equal the packaging. This year, Seth has chosen three moody, atmospheric pieces to fill your season with holiday fear . . . Overall, this is another fine set of Christmas ghost stories, perfect for the gray, dreary days that lead us into the magic of the holidays. As always, they are highly recommended."—Blu Gilliand, Cemetery Dance"Each story, from cover to inside decorations (Seth’s term for what the rest of us might call illustrations), sets the scene and mood, while never giving anything away: They’re the creaky door that invites you inside, the things bumped into in the night."—Tom Bowden, Book Beat
