The Green Room cover

In The Green Room, a haunting atmosphere in a bookstore leads a curious visitor to confront unsettling mysteries and classic ghost stories during the Christmas season.

In The Green Room, the atmosphere of a seemingly ordinary bookstore takes a mysterious turn. Upstairs from the cluttered shelves lies a private room reserved for select customers, but it is far from a typical reading nook. The ambiance within this strange room evokes a sense of oppression and loneliness, leaving visitors with an unsettling feeling. As one character explores the space, they sense an otherworldly presence, stirring a deep curiosity that compels them to return. This haunting environment beckons the protagonist, suggesting that something significant awaits them, urging them to comply with its silent call.

The narrative weaves together the eerie charm of classic ghost stories, drawing inspiration from renowned authors like Charles Dickens, H.R. Wakefield, and Daphne du Maurier. While Halloween is often regarded as the pinnacle of spooky tales, these writers found inspiration in the chilling depths of winter and the festive season of Christmas. In The Green Room, the juxtaposition of holiday cheer with ghostly encounters creates a unique blend of warmth and unease, inviting readers to reconsider the true essence of fear.

Published by Biblioasis, this beautifully illustrated collectible is part of a series that celebrates the art of storytelling through ghostly narratives. With charming illustrations by the beloved cartoonist Seth, this book is perfectly sized for holiday gifting, making it an ideal addition to any bookshelf or a cozy stocking stuffer. Readers across North America can now indulge in these timeless tales that illuminate the darker side of the holiday season.
