A Room in a Rectory: A Ghost Story for Christmas

"[This] series of Christmas ghost stories, miniature books chosen and illustrated by the cartoonist Seth ... [offers] chills--and charm."--New York Times Book Review

World-renowned cartoonist Seth returns with three new ghost stories for 2023.

Reverend Nigel arrives at Tilchington Rectory expecting a comfortable living in the beautiful countryside. But when he stubbornly opens a locked chamber, it isn't long before he is plagued with disturbingly devilish visions.

Sir Andrew Caldecott (1884-1951) was a British colonial administrator and a writer of history and supernatural fiction.

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 recent 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."
