Lois McMaster Bujold’s Knot of Shadows
This ended up being an apt story to read on Halloween, because it turned out to be a sad ghost story. Things start with a dead body being fished out of the harbor, except then…. he wakes up. And Pen gets called in, only to discover the guy is possessed by a ghost, but not his own ghost. And it just gets stranger and sadder from there. So this is /satisfying/, but not /fun/ in any way, and it kind of suffers in comparison to the whole fleshed out novel that precedes it. A-/B+.
