 P. Djeli Clark's The Haunting of Tram Car 015

Now, THIS is a novella that manages to be satisfying (though I am excited to read the full-length novel follow up). It’s set in a fantasy version of Cairo in the early 1900s, and centers on an Agent from the Ministry of supernatural whatever who, with his rookie partner, has to deal with the titular haunting. Clark brings all the plotlines together in a fun way, the characters are GREAT (lots of cool women), and the world building is really interesting. This was super entertaining and I’m starting the novel right now. A.
