The Library of the Dead
by T. L. Huchu (Tor, 2021); audiobook read by Tinashe Warikandwa (Bolinda, 2021)
Darkish YA fiction with a distinct (if at times inconsistent) narrative voice. Huchu invests time exploring Ropa’s character and establishing a believable post-apocalyptic Edinburgh where ghosts are known to exist and supernatural horror lurks side-by-side with the everyday sordidness of human nature.
