A Visit by Shirley Jackson
Margaret visits the lavish home of her friend Carla Rhodes for the summer holidays. But when Carla’s brother arrives with a mysterious friend, strange occurrences cause tensions to rise within the group, and secrets hidden within the house begin to emerge.
The Corner Shop by Lady Asquith
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.
The Dead and the Countess by Gertrude Atherton
The dead sleep peacefully—until a railway is built near their cemetery. While the old priest works to keep them at rest, the count’s dying wife begs to be buried near the railway. But when her last wish is granted, the priest finds that the sound of the train leaves the countess far from at peace.
About Seth’s Christmas Ghost Stories
Halloween might seem like the spookiest time of year, but F. Marion Crawford, Edith Wharton, and Bernard Capes felt otherwise. They were among the many authors who set their scariest stories during the dark and shivering days of—yes, Christmas.
Raving Reviews!
“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 great thing about each passing season is the chance to discover something new that may go on to become a new favourite. That old, and largely forgotten tradition of Christmas ghost stories is fertile ground for anyone digging for a spooky festive treat from a bygone time.”—Brian Earl, Christmas Past Podcast
“These books are just delightful … and the illustrations are just—shall I say delightful again?”—Jack Ford, Total Christmas Podcast
