From The Publisher* | Reading a ghost story on Christmas Eve was once as much a part of traditional Christmas celebrations as turkey, eggnog, and Santa Claus. Behind the run-down bookstore is a private room for favoured customers, a strange little annex with a stranger atmosphere. The young man feels a wistful presence vying got his attention as he browses, and when he leaves, he knows he will return. Something has been asked of him, and he will answer. |
Review Quote* | Praise for 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 "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 "The two classic Christmas ghost stories that Seth and Biblioasis fashioned last year were a huge success for us. Nifty packaging, striking design-so Seth."-Ben McNally, Ben McNally Books, Toronto, ON "Seth's Christmas Ghost Stories series resurrects the legacy of fireside tales at Christmas with these beautifully illustrated editions."-John Toews, McNally Robinson Booksellers, Winnipeg, MB |
