I can’t remember a time when cryptids felt more . . . real.”—Justin McElroy, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Adventure Zone seriesGreen trips on the curb, falls flat into the street, and sees the city bus speeding toward him. And then . . . blink. He’s back on the curb, miraculously still alive. A five-foot-tall crow watches him from atop a nearby sign, somehow unseen by the rushing crowd of morning commuters.Desperate for answers and beset by more visions of impossible creatures, Green finds his way to a remote campsite in the Appalachian Mountains, where he meets a centuries-old teacher and begins an apprenticeship unlike anything he could imagine.Under his new mentor’s grouchy tutelage, Green studies the time-bending rag moth, the glass fawn, and the menacing horned wolf. He begins to see past hidden nature’s terrors and glimpse its beauty, all while befriending fellow misfits—and finding connection and community.Along the way come clues about the forces that set him on this path—and, most incredibly, a sense of purpose and fulfillment like nothing he’s felt before.But Green’s new happiness promises to be short-lived, because alongside these marvels lurks a deadly threat to this place he’s already come to love.Creepy, cozy, and beautiful, Strange Animals is a fantasy about home, belonging, and the fearfully wonderous nature all around us.About Jarod Anderson:Jarod K. Anderson is a strange mix of fantasy nerd, nature writer, podcaster, poet, and erstwhile academic. He once accidentally picked up a rattlesnake and has slept in the branches of a maple tree more than most writers. He created and voices The CryptoNaturalist, a podcast about real love for imaginary nature, and has published three books of poetry as well as a memoir about his lifelong struggle with depression and the healing power of the natural world. He has an MA in early modern English literature and insists he’s more fun than that makes him sound. He lives with his wife and son in a little white house tucked between a park and a cemetery. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/7e81db20-0110-11f1-83dc-8dac76d29c25-rimg-w490-h740-dc020203-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/7eae9070-0110-11f1-83dc-8dac76d29c25-rimg-w761-h740-dce9e9e9-gmir.jpg Agenda?: 07:00 PMDoors Open?: 07:30 PM - 07:45 PMWelcome followed by book reading?: 07:45 PM - 08:15 PMAuthor Moderated Conversation?: 08:15 PM - 08:30 PMAudience Q & A?: 08:30 PM - 09:00 PMMeet the Author/Book Signing - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/indianapolis/author-talk-jarod-anderson-strange-animals/100001982280358915 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, trips-adventures - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 6.68, max: 33.64, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Indianapolis - **state**: IN - **country**: United States - **location**: Tomorrow Bookstore - **lat**: 39.7795617 - **long**: -86.1426951 - **full address**: Tomorrow Bookstore, 882 Massachusetts Avenue, Indianapolis, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Author Talk: Jarod Anderson "Strange Animals" - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/b8dc5fd7ceb3dfbe5b463652c5cffd1b4b9bfb618eb765865c661fd851dea416-rimg-w1200-h600-dc3a2d2a-gmir.jpg?v=1770134135 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Author Talk: Jarod Anderson "Strange Animals" being held? - **A:** Author Talk: Jarod Anderson "Strange Animals" takes place on Fri, 27 Feb, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Fri, 27 Feb, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Tomorrow Bookstore, 882 Massachusetts Avenue, Indianapolis, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Author Talk: Jarod Anderson "Strange Animals"? - **A:** Author Talk: Jarod Anderson "Strange Animals" is organized by Tomorrow Bookstore. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
