Finalist for the Foreword INDIES 2018 Award for Best Fiction
Thomas Mullen is struggling. Everything for him feels at risk, spiked with threat, since he witnessed a woman jump to her death fifteen months ago.

Review quote
"Collision Theory is hard book to categorize--part ghost story, part slacker comedy, part grief chronicle--but an easy one to enjoy. Adrian Todd Zuniga's first novel is creepy, funny, and full of dark surprises."
--Tom Perrotta, author of The Leftovers and Mrs. Fletcher
Fast-paced, intense, and emotional, Zuniga delivers a breakneck debut.
--J. Ryan Stradal, New York Times bestselling author of Kitchens of the Great Midwest
"Adrian Todd Zuniga has written sensitive and offbeat debut novel that veers between the absurdities specific to being a young man finding his way in a confusing world and the gut punches that every person with a sick or dying parent will recognize as universal. Fast paced and filled with surprises, I loved it.
--Michael Ian Black, New York Times bestselling author of You're Not Doing It Right
Adrian Todd Zuniga is a brilliant human, a huge book nerd, and, I'm pleased to report, a wonderfully talented writer. A great storyteller onstage and off, he's finally given us a novel. Beautiful, funny, and weird, it's a damn good read.
--Sara Benincasa, author of Agorafabulous!
