edit data

London Shah is a British Muslim of Pashtun ethnicity who’s been making up stories for as long as she can remember. She has lived in Britain's capital for most of her life, via England's beautiful North. She enjoys a steady supply of tea and all things sweet, strolling through Richmond Park or along the Thames, getting lost on an evening in the city’s older, darker alleyways — preferably just after a downpour — and losing herself in fab speculative-fiction media. The Light at the Bottom of the World is her debut novel and the first book in the Light The Abyss duology out now from Little, Brown. The sequel Journey to the Heart of the Abyss published in November 2021 and the series is now complete.

I find it incredibly hard to be creative when sitting down to write––my analytical brain kicks in instead and I'm more inclined to edit. The most productive way for me to switch my brain into writing mode is to already have something to write––at the very least, an outline. But ideally, because my creative mind is at its peak when away from the computer, I will have some voice recordings ready to type up :)(less)

Quotes by London Shah (?)

“The human spirit didn’t drown. It was swept up and carried along; it flows still, the stream coursing its way through everyone’s lives.

I just have to find a way to beat the dread, that’s all.”
― London Shah, The Light at the Bottom of the World

“The fear is all-encompassing, a deluge smashing into the deepest chasm inside us all.

Into the gaping gulf the floods created within us”
