Reviews
[This] series of Christmas ghost stories, miniature books chosen and illustrated by the cartoonist Seth... [offers] chills-and charm. -- John Williams * New York Times * 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 * Seth's evocative covers and black-and-white interior illustrations provide the perfect accompaniment to the stories ... Highly recommended for the horror lovers looking for something special in this post-Halloween season. -- Blu Gilliand * Cemetary Dance * The Seth editions are harbingers of a Christmas ghost story revival. -- Nathalie Akinson * Zoomer *

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 * Cemetary Dance * The Seth editions are harbingers of a Christmas ghost story revival. -- Nathalie Akinson * Zoomer *
