Author’s agent: Jodi Reamer, Writers House. Elegantly detailed engravings from Davidson open each story, setting the tone for the tale that follows. Arriving just in time for the fall release of the Miss Peregrine film, these tales, which often reference events in the earlier novels, are alternately droll, somber, and a bit horrific, and they’re sure to appeal to fans of the series.

Riggs follows his bestselling Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children and its sequels with an enticing collection of what purports to be “peculiar” folklore, “passed down from generation to generation since time immemorial.” Among the 10 tales-ostensibly collected, edited, and annotated by Millard Nullings, a peculiar from the novels-are “The Splendid Cannibals,” which concerns a town where people can regrow the lost limbs they regularly sell to rich cannibals at premium prices “Cocobolo,” about a peculiar father and son in ancient China who turn into islands as they mature and “The Pigeons of Saint Paul’s,” in which a peculiar named Wren makes a deal with London’s pigeons in order to get his cathedral built.
