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 "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--20 volumes now--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 "As good as the story selection is, the design of each book is the star. Seth's evocative covers and black-and-white interior illustrations provide the perfect accompaniment to the stories. His clean style elicits a ton of atmosphere without being hyper-detailed. In his work I see the brilliant use of shadow a la' Mike Mignola, combined with the dark whimsey of Tim Burton ... Highly recommended for the horror lovers looking for something special in this post-Halloween season."--Blu Gilliand, Cemetery Dance "The Biblioasis editions are handsome objects with embossed covers, double-page spreads that act like a cinematic establishing shot, and the artist's thematic spot illustrations ... The Seth editions are harbingers of a Christmas ghost story revival."--Nathalie Atkinson, Zoomer "Seth's illustrations help cement the feeling of 'something is very much wrong here' ... [T]hese books are a great addition to a holiday tradition, or, as any time of the year reading."--Lindsey Childs, Prairie Fire "Seth's design and illustrations are alone worth the price of admission, capturing and interpreting the mood of each story."--Tom Bowden, Book Beat "Seth's books--petite and illustrated with gorgeous minimalist designs--feel somehow like a more mature version of my childhood traditions. In reality, Seth's Christmas Ghost Stories are a tradition everyone, young and old, can make a part of their holidays. With these beautifully illustrated books, it seems in this case one really can judge a book by its cover."--The Charlatan "The great thing about each passing season is the chance to discover something new that may go on to become a new favourite. That old, and largely forgotten tradition of Christmas ghost stories is fertile ground for anyone digging for a spooky festive treat from a bygone time."--Brian Earl, Christmas Past Podcast "These books are just delightful ... and the illustrations are just--shall I say delightful again?"--Jack Ford, Total Christmas Podcast "These are beautiful little books ... [My family's] been reading them at home, and we've actually put them away so we can re-read them on Christmas Eve." --Matt Galloway, CBC's Metro Morning "For Seth, this is really a labour of love." --Peter Robb, Ottawa Citizen, 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 "I just bought my set of these and they ... are ... PERFECT.

World-renowned cartoonist Seth returns with three new ghost stories for 2021. When Lady Jane Lynke unexpectedly inherits Bells, a beautiful country estate, she declares she'll never leave the peaceful grounds and sets about making the house her home.

    The seller was incredibly communicative and was willing to lump together multiple items I'd purchased to combine shipping, which was greatly appreciated. The item itself was in perfect condition, looks better than in the photo, and was packaged well to avoid any damage during shipping. It arrived quickly and without any issues! Excellent Seller, Goes the Extra Mile. Smooth Transaction, Shipped Very Quickly, As Advertised; Good Price; Well Packaged & Delivered Within a Few Days. A+

    Thank you so much for offering this art book. Your price was fabulous on it. I had no communication, but you are no doubt a kind person. You are also a professional person, and your attention to detail really helped me in making my purchase decision. I'm adding you to my favorite seller list, and I always do shop with this list first. And also, I'd like to thank you for the lovely packaging, and the extremely fast shipping. The book was exactly as you described it. Happy New Year, if I can say.
