About this product
Product Information
World-renowned cartoonist Seth returns with three new ghost stories for 2022. Peter Wood enters a charming antiques shop owned by two young women one stormy evening. But after he returns a second time to a strange old man and a far gloomier atmosphere, and leaves with an unusual jade frog, Peter soon discovers that his purchase was worth more than he paid.

Reviews
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 "Internationally celebrated Guelph cartoonist Seth dug deep into his archive of ghost stories to resurrect a Victorian tradition of reading one on Christmas Eve." --Deb Dundas, Toronto Star "I just bought my set of these and they ... are ... PERFECT. I hope they do these every year." --Patton Oswalt "Seth's design and illustrations are alone worth the price of admission, capturing and interpreting the mood of each story." --Book Beat "As good as the story selection is, the design of each book is the star ... In [Seth's] 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 "A nice, creepy reprieve from all the holly and jolly of the holidays. Seth's black and white illustrations provide a delicious sense for foreboding and unease to these tales of the dearly departed." --Lindsey Childs, Prairie Fire "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 "[Seth's] illustrations are bold yet simple, and the use of shadows brings a lifelike quality to the playful cartoon style. Seth visually guides readers through each scene and adds thrill to every tale...This book collection kept me up at night with its chilling tales and gave me a chance to reflect on what tradition means during the holiday season." --Justin Ball, The Charlatan "Really beautiful art, and great stories." --So Many Damn Books "What I love about these books is that they're really a proper blast from the past ... If you know someone who likes their spooky stories, then they'd make a perfect Christmas gift. They look lovely, the artwork is fantastic, and they're just a great read ... I highly recommend them." --Total Christmas Podcast, 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.

In [Seth's] 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 tension and dread creep through each story like an unseen monster, gaining in size and with each page and readying to pounce. Seth's monochromatic and stark illustrations throughout add an extra dose of spooky to these stories of the supernatural." --Lindsey Childs, Prairie Fire "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.

[offers] chills--and charm." --John Williams, New York Times Book Review "[I]t's worth asking why Christmas and ghosts go so well together, and what the hearthside season's haunts are trying to tell us. They live on in the 2022 edition of Christmas Ghost Stories from Biblioasis, a series of chilling classics illustrated by Seth ... perfect for slipping into a stocking, or tucking into a coat pocket to while away a rinkside hour." --Globe and Mail "Internationally celebrated Guelph cartoonist Seth dug deep into his archive of ghost stories to resurrect a Victorian tradition of reading one on Christmas Eve." --Deb Dundas, Toronto Star "I just bought my set of these and they ... are ... PERFECT. I hope they do these every year." --Patton Oswalt "Seth's design and illustrations are alone worth the price of admission, capturing and interpreting the mood of each story." --Book Beat "If you're looking to lace your Christmas cheer with a little fear, then Seth, Biblioasis, and these three authors have the perfect gift for you." --Cemetery Dance "A nice, creepy reprieve from all the holly and jolly of the holidays. Seth's black and white illustrations provide a delicious sense for foreboding and unease to these tales of the dearly departed." --Lindsey Childs, Prairie Fire "I loved them, and really enjoyed the whole concept of reading ghost stories for the holidays (I appreciate a good scare any time of year!) ... These beautiful books are perfect stocking-stuffers, and even better is that they are beautifully illustrated by Canadian darling Seth." --Anne Logan, I've Read This "[Seth's] illustrations are bold yet simple, and the use of shadows brings a lifelike quality to the playful cartoon style. Seth visually guides readers through each scene and adds thrill to every tale...This book collection kept me up at night with its chilling tales and gave me a chance to reflect on what tradition means during the holiday season." --Justin Ball, The Charlatan "Really beautiful art, and great stories." --So Many Damn Books "What I love about these books is that they're really a proper blast from the past ... If you know someone who likes their spooky stories, then they'd make a perfect Christmas gift. They look lovely, the artwork is fantastic, and they're just a great read ... I highly recommend them." --Total Christmas Podcast "Taking classic short stories and adding design and geometry-heavy illustrations, Seth reintroduces eerie works from writers including Gertrude Atherton, Lady Asquith, and Shirley Jackson, among many others ... great small gifts for holiday exchanges." --Paste Magazine, Praise for Christmas Ghost Stories "[This] series of Christmas ghost stories, miniature books chosen and illustrated by the cartoonist Seth ...

Seth's Christmas Ghost Stories are a great tradition for book lovers to adopt. The slow-burning nature of older ghost stories, which makes them perhaps too tame for Halloween, makes them perfect for the winter holidays." --Quarantine Review "I loved them, and really enjoyed the whole concept of reading ghost stories for the holidays (I appreciate a good scare any time of year!) ...

Item as described, good price, well packaged, arrived slightly later than hoped (not in time for Christmas ) but the order was placed in a very busy shipping period. No issue with the seller’s speed of response and sending the item. Great seller!

The seller is one of the best there is - high quality books, reasonable prices, securely packaged.
I do, however, recommend some changes to their shipping - they show a shipper (SortHub) on eBay, but the tracking # they email is for a different carrier. It’s difficult to know where my purchase is.
This time, it was delivered a week late. In the grand scheme of things not a big deal. But it shouldn’t be this difficult to accurately track my purchase.
