[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 *

She was the first woman awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, an honorary Doctorate of Letters from Yale University, and a full membership in the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Edith continued to write until a stroke took her life in August 1937.
