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.

Neglected by her absent husband, the beautiful Duchess Violante turns to prayer, and, seemingly, the company of the duke's cousin. Suspicious of his wife, the duke returns unexpectedly one day and an argument breaks out which takes a dark turn--and leaves the memory of that day immortalized in the haunting face of a stone statue.

Edith Wharton (1862-1937) was an American novelist and short story writer known for her sharp portrayals of upper-class New York society. She was the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, for The Age of Innocence.

Seth is the cartoonist behind the comic-book series Palookaville, which started in the stone age as a pamphlet and is now a semi-annual hardcover. His comics have appeared in the New York Times Magazine, Best American Comics, and McSweeney's Quarterly. His illustrations have appeared in numerous publications including the cover of the New Yorker, The Walrus, and Canadian Notes & Queries. He is the subject of a documentary from the National Film Board of Canada, Seth's Dominion. Seth lives in Guelph, Ontario, with his wife Tania and their two cats in an old house he has named "Inkwell's End."
