To whom it may concern

One of the reasons I'm tremendously behind on the TOD rewatch is because I've been working on my Small Fandom Big Bang, a fusion of Eerie, Indiana and Jonathan Stroud's Lockwood & Co. And it's finally live and ready for reading! My artist made a fantastic podfic that I'm excited to listen to over and over and which will go live later today. Here's the fic itself though:

Summary:

Syndi Teller, Marshall Teller, and Simon Holmes are agents, trained to fight The Problem: the dead who walk the earth as ghostly visitors. They run their own small agency - Trusted Associates Inc - out of the Teller house in Eerie, Indiana - a town where the Problem has proven to be even stranger than it is elsewhere. Between the cases they take, Trusted Associates spends time researching the Problem and trying to understand its cause, as well as why it is so different in Eerie - in particular, why Syndi Teller, who should be too old to see the spirits they fight, has maintained her talent.

One day, a family comes to hire Trusted Associates because their daughter, Melanie Monroe, is being haunted by the boy who's heart saved her life. Marshall is excited to take this case, hoping it will lead to a better understanding of the Problem. What they find during their operation, however, is a very different haunting than any they've ever seen before. And then Melanie and her ghost, Devon Wilde, offer to take them to a place where they can find answers to all of their questions about the Problem and Eerie.

And, despite his sister's misgivings, Marshall knows it's too good a chance to pass up.

So I just finished reading The Library of the Dead by T.L. Huchu, which is the first book of the Edinburgh Nights series, and I must say besides being an absolutely excellent book, it's also got great Eerie crossover potential.

Just a few things that make me think this include:

- A Main character who can talk to the dead (and who would butt heads with the Eerie characters in excellent ways)

- Magic!

- An evil milk man!

Here's a brief summary I nabbed from StoryGraph:

When a child goes missing in Edinburgh's darkest streets, young Ropa investigates. She'll need to call on Zimbabwean magic as well as her Scottish pragmatism to hunt down clues. But as shadows lengthen, will the hunter become the hunted?
