My new book,
The Library of the Dead, is the first in a brand-new series called Edinburgh Nights. It tells the story of Ropa Moyo, a young girl who delivers messages from ghosts to the living for money. Despite her age, Ropa is an extremely smart, resourceful, tough little cookie. When one of her spectral clients asks her to find a missing child, Ropa is drawn into the darker side of magic in Scotland. Along the way, she makes new friends, discovers an occult library, gains a magical mentor, and battles villainous villains like the Midnight Milkman. The novel is set in what most people have described as a dystopian Edinburgh, but I wanted to remake Edinburgh as a third world city, so go figure. You know that thing immigrants do, come to your country, steal your jobs, ruin everything that’s pretty much what I did to Edinburgh in this novel. There’s lots of cool stuff in there too, involving Scottish history, Zimbabwean magic, science, and philosophy, with some proper geek shit

Meet the author: The Library Of The Dead writer TL Huchu
Author TL Huchu
Edinburgh podiatrist Tendai Huchu landed on his feet when he decided to become an author.
The Zimbabwe-born writer’s debut, The Hairdresser Of Harare, launched in 2010 and was followed by The Maestro, The Magistrate & The Mathematician.
Now going under the pen name TL Huchu, the winner of the Nommo Award for African science fiction and fantasy is keeping readers on their toes with the first novel in the Edinburgh Nights series.
The Library Of The Dead – set in a dystopian Scottish capital and pitched as a cross between Stranger Things and Ben Aaronovitch’s Rivers Of London – is a tale for young adults and beyond. It features Ropa, a school dropout who earns a crust by talking to the city’s dead and carrying their messages to the living.
