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."
-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."
-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."
-Christmas Past Podcast

"These books are just delightful ... and the illustrations are just-shall I say delightful again?"
-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
