A house inches eight hundred miles to confess its horrible crime. The last resident of a mental institution discovers he's not alone. A middle-schooler performs an experiment to determine how much time we fit in dreams. Boys looking for wonder find more than they're expecting in the Adirondacks with Charles Fort. A detective learns everything he's ever wanted to know...and some things he hasn't. In Will Ludwigsen's short stories of strangeness and mystery--a finalist for the 2013 Shirley Jackson Award for Best Collection--the universe has a way of being weird in just the ways we need it to be. There are answers to many of our deepest questions...and they're usually far more personal than we expect. What are you in search of? And what is in search of you?

Kirkus Reviews names In Search Of and Others as one of the Best Books of 2013! And the book was a finalist for the Shirley Jackson Award for Best Collection

Industry Reviews

"In this hauntingly beautiful collection of nine reprinted and six original stories, Ludwigsen...issues an invitation to look past preconceived notions of self and ways of being, and to take a journey to the dark side of imagination." - Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Ludwigsen's well-wrought, entertaining tales feel like a mashup of Ray Bradbury and Stephen King, and his evocative, whip-smart prose steeps readers in a realism that's mordantly funny and matter-of-fact but glimmering with whimsy and horror that leaks around the edges." - Kirkus Reviews, starred review
