"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
"As good as the story selection is,the design of each book is the star. Seth's evocative covers and black-and-white interior illustrations provide the perfect accompaniment to the stories. His clean style elicits a ton of atmosphere without being hyper-detailed. In his work I see the brilliant use of shadow a la'Mike Mignola,combined with the dark whimsey of Tim Burton...Highly recommended for the horror lovers looking for something special in this post-Halloween season."-Cemetery Dance

With these beautifully illustrated books,it seems in this case one really can judge a book by its cover."-The Charlatan
