World-renowned cartoonist Seth returns with three new ghost stories for 2026.

Reading a ghost story on Christmas Eve was once as much a part of traditional Christmas celebrations as turkey, eggnog, and Santa Claus. World-famous cartoonist Seth selects and beautifully illustrates each book for this beloved series in his own inimitable way, bringing back these classic Christmas ghost stories for readers across North America.

After his dear friend’s sudden death, a grieving man visits the countryside on holiday in hopes of taking his mind off the loss. During his stay with the Baldwin family, however, the man finds himself haunted by not only his friend’s memory, but another presence that’s been disturbed in the Baldwin home.
