Praise for Christmas Ghost Stories

"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
