We’re excited to announce the opening of our Seed Library, starting with a collection of winter seeds perfect for the season. 
“The devil has trouble sleeping. Caretaking human souls has taken its toll and he is suffering from insomnia. Enter Peter, a human soul and former musician who the devil believes can write music to help him sleep.
‘Peter is under the watchful eye of Balthazar, a demon and the devil’s right-hand man. Their budding friendship will be tested as Balthazar tries to keep the devil’s weakness a secret and fight off an attempted coup.
‘Meanwhile, Peter attempts this seemingly impossible task while adjusting to his new life in hell, and reminiscing about his previous turbulent life.”
Join us for interesting conversation with Leith-based author Ben Docherty about his debut book “Lullabies for Satan”
