<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Halloween might seem like the spookiest time of year, but Charles Dickens and other great ghost story writers felt otherwise!<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Upstairs from the shabby book store was a private room for the favored customers. A strange little room with a stranger atmosphere. What was the feeling there? Oppressiveness? Loneliness? Or perhaps there was a presence--something trying to contact him as he browsed. Strange thoughts crossed his mind and even after leaving he knew he must return. Something was being asked of him and he must comply.</p> <p><strong>Series Description</strong></p> <p>Halloween might seem like the spookiest time of year, but H.R. Wakefield, Walter de la Mare, and Daphne du Maurier felt otherwise. They were among the many authors who set their scariest stories during the dark and shivering days of -- yes, Christmas. </p> <p>Biblioasis is thrilled to announce three new books in this series of beautifully illustrated collectibles that share these classic Christmas ghost stories with readers across North America. Seth, our world-famous and beloved cartoonist, has designed and illustrated each book in his own inimitable way. Trimmed to fit the coziest stocking, they're specifically made for placement beside the registers of the finest bookstores. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong>Praise for Christmas Ghost Stories</strong></p> <p>"[This] series of Christmas ghost stories, miniature books chosen and illustrated by the cartoonist Seth ...
