Although not set at Christmastime, this still felt like what it must be like to slog through a hallway filled with figgy pudding. The plodding writing style was a chore to get through and the story, while interesting, would have benefited from some slimming down. The text covers only 76 of the small pages, the rest being taken up with Seth's drawings and publisher info. About eight pages are filled with verses in an old book the protagonist finds in the hidden room at the back of the bookstore, and which he comes to believe were written by an apparition he sees. One of this series misfires.
