the haunting of tram car 015 by p djèlí clark

The story draws those steampunk/alt history from the setting that the author has created. Unlike yesterday’s book, which was beautiful but had more than a bit of an elegiac tone to it, The Haunting of Tram Car 015 was just plain fun in a steampunkish, urban fantasy-ish, alternate history-ish kind of way.Īs those are all “ways” that I enjoy, this was a fun read from beginning to end. Which led me to The Haunting of Tram Car 015 by P. What starts off as a simple matter of exorcism, however, becomes more complicated as the origins of the demon inside are revealed.Īs I said yesterday, some of this week’s choices reflect the recent announcement of Finalists for the 2019 Nebula Awards as well as my own need to fill out my Hugo nominations list with books I’ve actually read and not merely intended to read. Senior Agent Hamed al-Nasr shows his new partner Agent Onsi the ropes of investigation when they are called to subdue a dangerous, possessed tram car. The Haunting of Tram Car 015 returns to the alternate Cairo of Clark’s short fiction, where humans live and work alongside otherworldly beings the Ministry of Alchemy, Enchantments and Supernatural Entities handles the issues that can arise between the magical and the mundane.
