Career
His work on short films for the Internet and blogging for Mental Floss earned him a job writing The Sherlock Holmes Handbook, which was released as a tie-in to the 2009 Sherlock Holmes film.
Riggs had amassed bizarre vernacular photographs and contacted Quirk Books, a book publisher, about using some of them in a picture book. Riggs used the photographs as a map from which to create a narrative on the suggestion of an editor. Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, which made The New York Times Best Seller list, was adapted into the 2016 film of the same name.
HarperCollins released another book influenced by old photographs, Talking Pictures, in October 2012.
