Writer, filmmaker, and photo hound Ransom Riggs is the author of the “chilling, wondrous” (People) no. 1 New York Times bestseller Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, a unique mix of young adult fantasy and vintage photography that follows a teenage orphan to a deserted Welsh island and the abandoned, crumbling ruins of the titular facility. The unusual journey continues with Hollow City, and a world of telepathy, time loops, shapeshifters, thrilling fantasy, and vintage photographs. Riggs is also the author of Talking Pictures and The Sherlock Holmes Handbook, and is a former daily contributor to mentalfloss.com.
