ReviewsPraise 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 "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

SynopsisHalloween might seem like the spookiest time of year, but Charles Dickens and other great ghost story writers felt otherwise!, Attractively designed and illustrated by well-known cartoonist Seth (creator of several New Yorker covers, graphic novels, etc.) Small trim size and inexpensive price = perfect for register display. Seth-designed loader ideal for register placement available. "2018 was the first time I put out an entire [Christmas Ghost Stories] display, and they flew off the shelf ... collectively, the books were right at the top of my bestseller list for the season."--James Crossley, Madison Books (Seattle, WA) "When we put our first display of Christmas Ghost Stories on the counter in 2016, we weren't expecting them to sell as quickly as they did! Now we know to order A LOT way in advance of December. Our customers continue to love this series, and so do our staff."--Marlene England, Curious Iguana (Frederick, MD) "We faced [XGS] out together on the shelf and our customers LOVED them. We sold far more than we anticipated. We're bringing back the ones that sold last year and have new ones on order as well."--Susan Skirboll, Kramerbooks (Washington, DC) Similar series of Xmas Ghost Stories by Galley Beggar Press have sold 30,000+ in UK. Very strong response from media looking for "feel good" holiday news stories from multiple angles, including: 1) reviving old traditions, 2) novel and appealingly counter-intuitive take on Christmas as a spooky time of year, 3) Seth's recognition and reputation for great interviews 4) inclusion in holiday shopping gift guides Potential marketing to specialty shops, incl. comic book stores, Christmas gift stores Striking design and classic stories make the books appealing as collectibles, World-renowned illustrator Seth returns with three new Christmas ghost stories for 2020. After receiving word that his Uncle Henry has gone missing, W.R. travels to his town to join in the search, but soon suspects his uncle is already dead. After an unusual encounter with a traveling salesman, W.R. has a nightmare about a terrifying puppet show--and a ghostly clergyman.
